Great to see orcas and humpback whales. The views of the alps and different mountains and islands were also so beautiful. We were lucky to have the sun on that day. The staff shared so many bits of information about the whales and other creatures we could spot.

And as soon we reach the whale watching point, they whale starting to came, the first we seen was a finwhale and then lots of Humpback whales, they came up to breath so many times, end then all the orcas showed up in brancs with their babies.

It was a nice tour. Dealing with nature you never know what can happen, but we got to see Humpback and Orca whales and some eagles and seagulls. The crew was very knowledgeable and we appreciated the gentleman who was in charge of the food stand and who kept the restrooms clean even with soooo many tourist on that boat. The one thing I didnt like was that we were made to walk across some slippery road along the harbor since the embarkation point changed; there were some parts that were dangerous: slippery streets right next to the water and dealing againts trucks, buses and cars and slush! Most tourists are not used to these conditions and one could easily slip or fall into the frigid waters. There was pedestrian road parallel to that which we were led through. 4 stars.
