Mountains, dolphins, and waves, oh my!
Barbara I5.0Aug 2024Seeing 300 wild dolphins, seeing the snow-capped mountains, and the sapphire blue ocean. We had a wonderful time and the landing of the plane was so gentle. Thank you for the amazing flight.Whsles
Kirk K4.0May 2024Excellent time and got to see a sperm whale what an experience. The pilot knew the water and history of the area and the trip was very enjoyable.amazing experience!!
Mia L5.0Apr 2024We saw so many dolphins and a whale. The weather was also great and at the end we even flew a bit over the mountains:)A Birds Eye of the sea life
Sadie H5.0Apr 2024Friendly and very professional and thorough operation. Got me checked in, briefed and on the plane on schedule. Saw humpback whale surrounded by dolphins within a few minutes. Lots of opportunity to view sea life in the water from a completely different point of view and also the beautiful mountains nearby. Highly recommend the extended version as time flies by and don’t wear a jacket as it gets warm inside the plane.Fun tour
Blake W4.0Apr 2024It was a fun tour. They were upfront and honest about not knowing if they could find a whale the day or our tour. They spotted one and decided to go ahead with the tour. If we were unable to find a whale we would have received a voucher for a free flight. We did find a whale. It was really cool. Had we not found a whale the flight was awesome by itself.
