    The tour had a very friendly guide. Everything was explained perfectly. We haven't seen whales but Gentle Giants provides a great service by giving a voucher for a free next turn without expirong date.

    Our guide was very kind and as a biologist she could tell us so much about the whales, dolphins, puffins and other animals. Also, they informed us about the bad weather prediction so we could change our reservation. Very happy we did, we had sun and a calm sea, and saw so many humpbacks!

    The staff were really nice and the guide Mark was excellent. Mark knew how to tell facts about the animals and was fun to listen to. We saw a few dolphins and lots of puffins and whales.

    We really enjoyed seeing the whales, but we weren't at all impressed with "Puffin Island": we saw the island but not the puffins! It felt like a rip-off.
