Amazing experience ❤️

We were chasing whales until we found a mother and a baby. Came close enough to clearly see the creatures but not too close so we don't scare them. Thank you for your amazing work, crew!

Total Waste of Time & Money

Saw maybe three whales about 200 meters away, they were visible for about three seconds. Boat was packed, not allowed to go upstairs for half the cruise. Uncomfortable, regrettable experience.

Mixed Opinions

Overall the trip was great in the sense we got to see whales which was what we came for. The boat was comfortable and there was enough space as the trip went on and people started to move around but it didn’t start with ample seating and that wasn’t really managed so you kinda just have to figure it out for yourself. Getting on the boat started fine with most of the staff friendly with the exception of one girl making a rude comment that I needed to tell them that I was bringing my baby (it was written on the order and in my confirmation) - and arguing with me that I must not have put it in booking (which I finally looked up to show her although at that point she was calling the booking team to verify. Anyway the rest of the staff were nice and said girl spent the rest of day kissing and cuddling her boyfriend who was a guest on the boat. The other really negative part was the guy who ran the trip. He seemed to be on some serious drugs and was really obnoxious yelling Whaley Whaley Whaley throughout the whole trip. He then bribed people for good reviews in the end (they had to show him to win a prize) which just didn’t sit well with me. Without this guy the trip would be a lot better and it astonishes me that anyone would employ him. What made the trip was seeing whales. The beer prices were good too.
