It was a really nice experience. We were able to see a family of whales (a adults and 2 young ones). It was really nice to see them jumping around and having fun. Thank you very much Sarah for the great explaination, and the other crew members for this fantastic experience. Really worth it.

We got to see humpback whales and were close enough to get some great videos of whales breaching. Staff were very knowledgeable and provided plenty of time to observe the whales and take photos. Many people experienced motion sickness. I highly recommend taking motion sickness tablets beforehand and even during the cruise. A wonderful experience and would definitely recommend.

First and foremost we enjoyed the sighting and watching the whales and dolphins. The staff are very friendly, positive and enthusiastic. They created a great atmosphere and their joy and enthusiasm was contagious. We saw 4 whales and 2 very close. It was a great morning

We had a great experience with the whale-watching tour! We were lucky enough to see whales, which made the trip even more memorable. 🐋 The commentary was also excellent and very informative, especially because it was provided by a biologist who shared interesting facts and insights about the whales and their behaviour. Overall, a wonderful experience and definitely worth doing! Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Staff were great. Unfortunately sea sickness got the better of me. But the first hour was great. Did get to see 1 whale pop up before having to concentrate on everything relating to that rocking motion....
