When it was windy, the trip was cut short, so we didn't see any whales. We did get a voucher for a second time, but it's a bit useless when you live in Denmark and don't really plan to return. A half price refund would have been much more user friendly.

We saw a blue whale (whale), a school of dolphins (109) next to, in front of and under our boat (catamaran) and about 10 resting seals on a float when entering the harbor. The captain took all the time to make it as pleasant as possible for us to watch and film all this! Fantastic experience!!!!!!

The crew does everything they can to find at least dolphins, which they succeeded. Seen a group of up to 100 dolphins and also another dolphin species. Unfortunately no whales were spotted, sea lions were also seen, but the trip was nevertheless very worthwhile. There was a toilet on board and the possibility to order refreshments. The captain kept everyone informed with her enthusiasm. Finding the departure location took a number of inquiries. Great trip.
