Amazing trip

We had an amazing trip on 13/08/2025. The weather was perfect and the boat was clean and comfortable. Before we went on the boat, the crew was kindly asking if we need to take the seasickness tablets. The food was tasty and the guide was knowledgeable. We saw lots of whales. Though they were not very near by our boat, we still recorded a lot of videos! I’ll recommend this trip to my friends!

Brilliant day out

We had an amazing experience on 21/06/2025. The boat left on time, not much of a queue, the weather was perfect and the boat was clean and comfortable. The food was lovely and lots of choice! We saw lots of whales and dolphins too, there was a marine biologist on board which was so helpful. Overall an amazing experience and very reasonably priced!

Terrible

We got to Princess Cruises and they had not received our booking from Book Me so they wouldn't let us on the tour.

Not as expected

It's a big day for a family trip as people made a big effort to be there and looking forward to it - but we only save a few blow holes and baby tails. You ought to use a scanner or some scouting information to spot them - I don't think a wave scanner will hurt the whales in the short and long run; compared to the amount of radiation we face each day like microwaves. Also, better if there is a bottom glass deck so we can see it from underneath. Furthermore, there should be a video camera to record the under water actions of the whales and project that on a screen. This is not too expensive to install for today's tech.
