    Wonderful day out, the crew were super friendly. Our trip had to be rebooked due to weather conditions, staff were very good contacting us and we were rebooked to go 2 days later, no hassles. Very informative guide and our whale sighting experience was magical! We were pleased to support a local business, not a multi National company. We highly recommend doing this experience!

    From onboarding to commentary to success at finding whales, this tour was top notch! Didn’t need to go far for our first sightings. Some frisky yearlings breaching and tale slapping but on quite a show for our granddaughter and us. Boat was quite stable and the length of tour was juat right for young ones.
