I love the fact that we could relax. Enjoy watching the whales and still get wonderful photos from the crew after our tour online through dropbox. The crew were very helpful getting passengers onto the bow and back into the cabin in the choppy waters. However, I would suggest not to take small children as the rough seas did upset those on board. A definite must do!

Unfortunately my son and I got seasick but the tour was run exceptionally well and they had a beautiful boat.
We saw whales jumping, breaching and all.
I would not take my son to this tour though again until he is much older and I do jot recommend it for small children. The might find it very difficult and then you are stuck out there for 2 hours with an upset child.

Great morning. We saw four pods of mother whales with their calves. Commentary was informative throughout, lots of time spent with the whales, thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

This was a brilliant tour. The crew were very informative and pointing out all the pods of whales they could see and moving for people to get better views. We were lucky enough to see several whales and calves.
Upgrading to the captains cabin was definitely worth the extra expense. There was the opportunity to sit at front of cabin alongside the captain therefore getting best views. Complimentary drinks and snacks were offered throughout. A thoroughly enjoyable trip

There were so many whales. It was amazing to see mothers teaching their calves and the dolphins throwing an octopus around was incredible

Excellent Cruise - the crew were extremely knowledgeble and respectful - taught us all about the language of the whales .We upgraded to the captains lounge, and it was totally worth it. Plan on doing this cruise every quarter , to experience differrent kinds of whale behaviour!

After two hours bumpy ride, saw a little of the whales. Possibly sea sick should be mentioned.. This one is more expensive than the other same tour.
JeiSern_C, Nov 2022
We went on the 10th November. It was quite cold because of the cold wind but we managed to see the whales. The commentary from the guide is quite helpful for us to understand more on the whales and what they are doing.
