3.00The tour operator changed the time of the tour by an hour. I was never notified of the change. In fact the morning of the tour I received a reminder from Viator of the tour that listed the original tour time. The tour was an hour later. Had the operator moved it to an hour earlier I would have been a no show. We saw very little wildlife and zero whales. I understand that the tour operator can't guarantee whale sightings.
There Are No Guarantees In Life...

4.00We took the ride hoping to see whales. We didn't see any. We saw a few seals and an eagle at the beginning of the journey. We know that seeing whales is often subject to chance, but it would have been helpful if the captain had given whale sighting updates intermittently as the morning progressed instead of waiting until we were almost back in port. The crew members were very friendly.
Highly recommended experience!

5.00Everything was perfect during our tour. This was one of the best experiences that we had. The crew (Theo) and the captain were always punctual, friendly and helpful.I remember they provided us everything that we need during our tour.They were very helpful to answer our questions and requirements. Additionally, we were lucky to see many whales and seals. We appreciate and we are so grateful for their help.
Great

4.00Although we did not see any whales there were plenty of other interesting stuff to see. Captain and 1st mate were knowledgeable and very pleasant. Would do this again.
Great time whale watching!
