4.00Fantastic chance to see ocean wildlife. Although the swells were a little too much for me in the second half of the trip, the excitement of seeing humpback whales was amazing.
Sadly whales did not show...

3.00Sadly whales did not show on this tour, but just at time where northern migration ended and southern migration just starting. Enjoyed the sail - 3 metre swell so was good fun. All credit to the company in giving a free future tour because we didn’t see any whales.
A rough day at sea, but a brilliant experience.

5.00A great trip all round. The boat was not too big, and everyone was able to find a space to watch the action. Even though there was quite a big swell out at sea, the skipper, Isaac, was able to keep the boat in the correct position to give us the best chance of seeing the whales. Alex, our guide, gave us lots of information about the animals, their feeding and migration patterns, and about the local history of whales we watching. We managed to see at least 3 whales, and it was a great experience. Unfortunately some of the passengers were ill because of the conditions, but Alex made sure they were all ok. In all we spent 2.30 hours on the boat, and the crew seemed to enjoy the experience as much as we did.
Was a great experience....

5.00Such a great experience we saw two humpback whales and spotting them and maneuvering toward where we could see them more closely was such an adventure the water and the speed boat ride and sunset coming back were also spectacular
