Great experience! Competent and kind staff! We were at sea for 4 hours and it was probably our group's luck or their skill that we saw less than 10m away, 4 sperm whales, a group of 3 orcas with 2 pups, puffins and 1 sea eagle. You know, these are conditions of nature that you can't control and you need luck. But these guys from Green Gold gave it their all!

the guide and skipper were fantastic, helpful, they did everything to make us live the experience in all its fullness. 5 sightings of sperm whales and a group of 6 orcas. Fantastic!

The whale watching tour was just great! We saw about 10 sperm whales. Later we saw puffins on an island... All in all, highly recommended!

Great expirience very good explanations by the guide Better advise upfront that suits boots etc are included

Was hoping for the spermwhales, but group of pilot whales was awesome.
