An exciting up-close encounter with the Giant Sperm Whale at all times of the year!
Truly once in a lifetime experience, to see whales in their natural habitat - not to mention the dolphins, albatrosses and other wildlife !! The rolling 4 metre waves were more fun than a rollercoaster on our run out to the 1000 metre deep sea water home of the whales. We were lucky enough to find and watch a pair of Humpback Whales, more than likely the female was pregnant, we persued with soundwaves a Sperm Whale who refused to interupt his deep sea snooze and interacted with dozens of Dolphins frollicking along side our vessel !! Wonderful staff with a wonderful onboard commentary, we feel priviledged to have had this experience !!
Incredibly well organised. The crew were excellent and we were very lucky to see the sperm whale twice, a hump back whale and lots of dolphins. An excellent experience we won’t forget.
I want to watch whale not dolphin. I’m disappointed. It’s not worth the price.
It was really exciting to see the dolphins up close and catch a few sightings of 2 kinds of whales! The staff also ensured that everyone was safe and gave us ample of time to watch the dolphins and the whales before we had to move onto the next location. Would recommend this trip!
