I enjoyed the whale watching trip a lot, though most honest would be call such tour "dolphin watching". I understand that the organisers can't guarantee that a whale will occure on horizon, but during the tour I felt sometimes annoyed that the whales were advertised, but as far as we've seen dolphins, the searching for whales turned unimportant, unfortunately.

Really well organised, host very informative and funny and kept us entertained. We didn’t see a whale but did see dolphins and stayed out at sea longer so we could watch them. It was choppy when we went and they give out motion sickness tablets at the start and ginger sweets. Anyone who was unwell was looked after. Highly recommend.

Our guide Rececca was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and so passionate. We got lucky with how many huge Minky whales and dolphins we seen but the skipper was just so good at tracking them and maneuvering the boat so everyone got a good view. The cafe on board was perfect for a hot drink and snack. The boat was fast at getting out and back
