Absolutely amazing and breathtaking morning spent with the very informative team. Puffins, dolphins and humpback whales were all seen. We spent a lot of time watching the whales, which was absolutely brilliant. Highly recommended.

An amazing trip. We saw Humpback Whales and Dolphins who came very close to the boat. Extremely well organised and professional tour. Would definitely recommend.

by Adventurer736550

Amazing trip. The crew were so knowledgeable and clearly cared about the whales to the point they had named and could recognise them. Not only that they were excellent at finding the whales, we encountered two Minkies and also a Humpback which we got great views of from a close but safe distance. A brilliant experience from start to finish!

Very nice staff and loved the boat ride!! That was fun in Itself We saw 2 humpback whales and they have us some tail which was fabulous. I took so many pics and one of the staff also took pics that they’re sharing with the group which I thought was so very nice. Great experience and am glad I went with the smaller boat and this fabulous staff.
