Fantastic Morning!

This cruise was fabulous. The weather was stunning but more importantly the whales came to visit. It took us some time for a spotting but once there was a sighting Henry and Carmel's patience and experience was on display. Whilst we didn't see any breaching we had 3 whale interact with our boat for about 30minutes. They swan alongside, around and under (but not over!). We heard them talking and they were so relaxed. Henry and Carmel were great hosts, very knowledgeable and certainly did everything they could to find the whales. This was a really special experience and one that I would recommend to all.

Wonderful Experience!

A really wonderful cruise! We watched a juvenile humpback whale playing with dolphins. Other dolphins played on both sides of our boat. To top it off, we saw a colony of male seals lazing around on their rock on the return trip. A trifecta! Thank you to our skipper for an amazing experience.

Lovely day out

Enjoyable and well run day. Lovely staff and comfy boat. Whilst the whales were a bit scarce we did see a few and had a nice time.
