5.00This was by far the most amazing whale watching trip I have ever experienced! 2 whales swam under and around our boat for over an hour Liam snapped the most spectacular photos and posted them as soon as we left the boat!!!!! The photos were free. He knew fascinating facts and taught us so much.

3.00The service was top notch and the crew was great. The issue we had was everybody on top pretty much got soaked they did tell you that there's a possibility of getting wet. Thank God my friend and I went down below. We went yesterday on August 13th and we didn't really see much whale I think we saw two. The crew was great and had lots of knowledge to share.
Good if you can find the place

4.00Don't be fooled by the name. We spent ages looking for this place and then decided to go into Orca Spirit Adventures who told us we were in the right place. We also weren't aware of just how far away it was from the cruise ship, so would advise getting a cab. However, despite missing our original trip we were quickly offered a replacement trip for the afternoon which we accepted. The trip itself was great. Captain George, Bria and Rhyan were very knowledgeable . Captain George took us to all the places, whales and orcas were sited. We had a brilliant encounter with a pod of orcas, it was amazing. All in all despite the trip not starting off very well it turned out to be a very good day and one we would definitely recommend.
