I loved the whole trip, but especially the cruise. Our guide and driver Liam was informative and helpful. We saw some whales on the cruise and since it was windy the whole experience was very exciting. The fish and chips provided at lunchtime were delicious. I would thoroughly recommend the trip.

That boat was a fabulous way to experience the awesome bluffs, caves and coves of the sanctuary. The captain skillfully took us to many unique and beautiful places along that coast, explaining their geological formations. Majestic and towering cliffs that had eroded into bridges and islands provided thrilling “up close” views as the boat powered through the narrow passages. The plentiful penguins, seals, cormorants and other wildlife were accustomed to the boat and made “photo ops” for all aboard. It was a memorable day, providing lots of pictures and nature education.
