What To Expect
Come with us for an amazing encounter with the whales! On board one of our speed boats, our crew will use a hydrophone to try to localize the whales along the west coast. Their blows can also help localize them. Sperm whales can be observed all year round while humpback whales can be observed between June and October. Once on site, our crew will give you more information about these majestic marine mammals. We will respect approach rules and minimum distance in order to avoid disturbing them. Don't forget your cameras to immortalize this wonderful moment! Water and soft drinks will be served during the tour. The tour ends at around 1 p.m. We guarantee a 60% chance to see the whales.

1.00We made the booking a month in advance. On the day of our trip we got message 1 & 1/2 before the booking (when we were on our way in taxi) that our trip is cancelled due to rough conditions on sea and strong wind. When we arrived there was no wind, really calm day and from a viewpoint we saw that even the sea was really calm... We got offer to reschedule to another day, but thats impossible if you are on a short vacation just like us.

5.00We had a wonderful tour and were incredibly lucky. We spent a long time alone with a young sperm whale. I would like to emphasise in particular that the welfare of the Waale has been given great attention, this unfortunately cannot be said of other providers. After some time, they did not arrive carefully and then went snorkeling, so the Waal was then also very quickly gone.

4.00Fast-paced tour by speedboat out to sea, experienced skipper and guide, large whale family discovered and observed. However, the tour lasted only around . 2 hours instead of the stated time of 3 hours. Also there was water on request only in the cup, not in bottles for the individual; unfortunately there were no other drinks! Therefore, deduction of total points...
An Unforgettable, Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience

5.00One of the best experiences of my life. Our tour group was tiny - just the three of us plus another couple, which made the whole thing feel personal and special. We saw so many whales, and incredibly close too - their size is unbelievable when you’re right beside them. The staff were fantastic - enthusiastic and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best experience possible. I honestly can’t imagine a better whale-watching trip than this.
Really worth it

4.00We were lucky as we saw 3 whales. We left on time and had a brief safety talk. The team were very respectful of the whales. The sea was getting a bit rough so the trip was ended a bit early but that was fine. We were told to hold on tight as the boat would be jumping about which it did. Tips: Easy to find, you can park in the streets near the jetty. Only take a small bag as not really anywhere to store anything. Be prepared to get wet/soaked (depending where you're sat). Bare feet in the boat.

5.00Nice team, despite the delay they waited for us. After a short time we saw a large sperm whale and had enough time to take pictures. Particular emphasis was placed on not harassing the whale, which we found great!
