Great family venture

We were welcomed on board with a hot or cold drink. The staff were really friendly and informative. We didn't see a lot of whales but the staff ensured we got to see some and did their best to get us to any spotted from a distance. Would definitely reccomend and go again.

Decent experience

Cruise delayed 3 times and communication was difficult, left us on near the last cruise of the season so whale sighting was just singular. Still had a good family experience, thanks.

BUCKET LIST TICK

Was a lovely way to spend a few hours, the super yacht was beautiful, sea a little rough but the guides did a great job of keeping people supplied with bags. Managed to see a couple of pods, which was great as it was at the end of the season, a baby whale played while mum kept watch, was pretty cool, very informative

No refund after Cancelled for rest season

Booked for trip, was notified it was cancelled and there would be no further trips offered this season. I requested refund which has not been received and I have not been contacted. Feeling deceived. Had similar with book me booking for another event cancelled at short notice- at least that one I was refunded quickly.

Wonderful experience

Such informed and friendly crew that do everything possible to make the experience memorable in every way. Saw so many whales from their beautiful boat, all the while being informed of the whales behaviours and migrating patterns. Amazing - thank you.
