5.00Amazing experience!! Alex and Alex were great and very informative. It was a short boat ride (maybe 45 min until we got to the site). We saw a few mother humpback wales and their calves. We even got to see some dolphins on the way back!!
A must do

5.00It's been a wonderful experience, Mette and Rex Alex did a wonderful job. We were in the top front of the boat and had great views of the whales. Before starting the trip they told us that the sea was choppy and the weather windy, in fact they offered a refund or date changing if you were not ok with that. Luckily we did not change our mind, we ended absolutely soaked but it was woth it :). Before the trip they suggested you before the trip to and there is a reason for that! Good idea to wear also water proof shoes and even clothes to change after the excursion.
Great whale watching experience

5.00Rex and Mette gave us a wonderful tour in search of whales. Amazing we saw three humpback whales together and one separated a few minutes later Rex was keeping in touch with other skippers in the area locating them. Worked well for us. Mette provided an expert explanation of the humpback whales during the trip, as well as all other species. She took pictures if you wanted and then downloaded them to your phone. No cost cost A great morning excursion. Thanks both of you
