Highlighted reviews from other travelers
This was a fabulous experience. The boat was modern and very comfortable. The crew were all friendly and very helpful. Hot drinks and snax available on board. The crew tried really hard to maximise our viewing opportunity. We didn’t see any whales, but we did see a few pods of very playful dolphins which was wonderful.
Nothing! Loved the tour. It was great. Saw porpoises and minke whales. Thank you
