Fantastic experience. Went on their evening whale watching tour and it was amazing. We saw several humpback whales and a porpoise and enjoyed the lovely scenery. The guide was very good, the boat really comfortable and the provided coveralls were very warm and waterresistant.
A great experience! I'ts nature, and sometimes the whales don't feel like today's the day. (Except for a nice Orca that showed up) We were invited for a second trip and saw quite a few whales then. Staff is friendly and our guide Gisela? was very knowledgeable!
The crew tried their very best to locate some whales for us, however they were elusive on this occasion despite being visible for many days prior. Free warm drinks are available on the trip, and we were given free tickets for a future trip within the next 2 years because we saw no whales on this trip, which I think is exceptionally fair of the company.
I can't recommend them enough! The boat ride was comfortable, the captain and the guide (Jeff from London) made the experience worth ever kronna. We saw plenty of whales, learned a lot and felt cared for.
A fantastic experience. Our guide and captain were both tremendous. Our guide was a biologist who shared her incredible knowledge freely. I loved the surprise visit to a hot waterfall. The company even provides pictures from the excursion as part of the package (no extra charge). I highly recommend.
