Many thanks to our friendly, passionate and very competent guide/accompanist. She has incredible energy! We saw the whales a dozen times. The same ones, probably, but it's just magnificent. Rorqual and humpback whale. Up close and personal....it's so amazing! Thank you so much!

Clara was an amazing guide! We were lucky to talk with her before and after the activity, and you can truly feel how passionate she is about marine biology. We had a great time and spotted four different animals!
