It was an amazing experience the staff on the boat were so genuine and nice. We did see one whale which was awesome but the seals were amazing. So was the dolphins swimming along the side of the boat.

We weren’t sure if we will see any whales but we ended up experiencing what the crew described as the best they have seen for the season! The crew were continuously searching to ensure that we get the experience and the results was amazing. The crew itself were friendly and everything is hassle free.
I recommend !

The cruise was fantastic. The crew were very friendly with a sense of humour and take good care of the visitors which made the whole experience much more enjoyable! We were lucky enough to see whales and fur seals. The crew even held a vote to see what the visitors preferred to do (continue or return to a spot where we were sure of seeing whales that had been seen before). The crew knows how to react when people are seasick. I recommend this extraordinary experience! (Lunch on board could be a bonus point !)
