Fabulous morning whale watching !!!

Wow these guys are sooo professional and knowledgeable, they knew all the things we wanted to know about the whales. They were friendly and nothing was to much trouble. We went out they soon found where the whales were kept a proper distance away whilst switching the engine off and letting us all enjoy these beautiful mammals. Then started up again and went to another area all up we say 4 close up and about 13 in total.

Incredible!

We went on the second to last day of the whale watching season so did not expect to see much at all. The crew were very informative and great at spotting the sprays of the whales. We even saw a few breaches, incredible experience. Real pinch me moment!! Definitely recommend.

Whale watching

The whale watching was great, thought that we might get a bit closer to them than we did. But there is possibly some rules around that. A good part of the trip was the boat ride in and out of the area, which is quite interesting and you see a bit along the way. Learnt a bit too.

Great experience and value

We had a great time. Lots of whales, not too close to the boat, but that's the luck of the draw.
