    Went with my uni mates, didn’t expect much but it was actually super cool. Didn’t get seasick (bonus), saw whales like 5m from the boat. Dress warm, wind is NO joke. Only downside, too many people crowding the rail for pics.

    Booked last minute and didn’t regret it. The weather was unpredictable (sudden rain, then sun), but the suits kept us warm. Got some coool shots of a whale. The boat ride itself is worth it if you like being on the sea.

    Boat trip felt a bit rushed at times, like they were on a schedule. But! We saw two humpbacks and even got a good photo (tricky with the boat bobbing everywhere). Crew handed out warm suits that made us look like marshmallows. Would def go again, just maybe not in October—COLD.
