    We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Staff were very friendly and explained a lot about the life of the animals we saw. We were thrilled to actually come close to dolphins and whales. The crew was respectful towards the animals and you could feel their passion. We were provided with drinks and snacks and had an opportunity to swim afterwards. I highly recommend this trip.

    Such an amazing experience! Guides were both brilliant, very knowledgeable and great communication from point of booking. An incredible afternoon.
    Wonderful experience
    David_S, Mar 2024
    We had a wonderful time with my wife. Perfect size boat (8 of us on board). The crew is great - knowledgeable, welcoming, and very funny. Saw some beautiful whale families. My wife was a little seasick but we were well taken care of.
    Phenomenal knowledge and expertise

    Unique experience getting up close and personal with whales and dolphins. The crew were very knowledgeable and friendly.
    Well worth the time and the money.

    Great personal experience with only 10 people on the boat. Our guide was super enthusiastic, knowledgeable and full of energy and humour. Our ‘captain’ was brilliant too, being the first one to spot the whales and take us to them. Despite being warned that the higher than usual wind would make the journey more challenging (and being given the option to reschedule), we decided to go ahead anyway and had a great time, spotting a family of around 40 pilot whales - several close to the boat. Highly recommended.
    Paradise

    Mirka_O, Nov 2023
    This excursion is very well run and the passion of the crew is unmistakable. I was worried the boat will be crowded but it wasn't. We saw pilot whales and being able to listen to them was a cherry on the cake. Highly recommended.
    100% recommended
    Melanie_B, Oct 2023
    Great experience! Very informative, friendly cruise and reloaded atmosphere. Most important: just watching the whales in a respective way without harassing them. They stop the boat and let the whales pass you - amazing!!!
    10 star day out
    Gill_F, Sep 2023
    If I could give this 10 stars I would. What a beautiful day out saw so many pilot whales dolphins and turtles. I was buzzing. Crew were fabulous and very considerate and respectful of the animals we saw. Would highly recommend
    Great event

    The whole team and the trip seeing wales was wonderful. We have seen multiple wale children as a group
    amazing whales and guide but no snorkeling despite paying for the snorkeling
    Helena_W, Mar 2023
    we did see whales and the guide and captain were amazing, but we paid for the 3 hour longer excursion and the description says that 3rd hour is for snorkeling and we didn't even go in the water or get off the boat. it was still a lovely experience but just not quite what was expected
    Excellent
    Kim_M, Feb 2023
    The crew were knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly. The encounter with the whales was close and being able to listen to them underwater was exciting.
    We saw lots of animals and were able to get up close
    Sonia_B, Dec 2022
    A fantastic experience! There were a total of eight people on the boat compared to the catarmaran tours which were packed. The hosts were so knowledgeable and took time to teach the kids about whales, dolphins and other sea life and we were able to get close to the animals as we were in a smaller boat. We saw lots of adult and baby pilot whales and dolphins. Our family had a truly wonderful morning.
    Great morning
    DAVID_M, Oct 2022
    Small straight forward group with enthusiastic guides. Wonderful to get close to the pilot whales. Highly reccommended
    Amazing experience
    Chiara_P, Sep 2022
    Amazing experience! It was a small group (7 including us) and they explained everything about the sealife, they were always available to answer your questions and you could tell it’s their passion which makes everything more interesting. We saw lots of Pilot Whales and some turtles. Would definitely recommend and would do it again
