Sans regrets

Le bateau est bien, il reste longtemps de façon à bien voire les baleines. Ils indiquent correctement lorsque l'équipage voit les baleines. Pour moi, il y a trop de monde sur le bateau, je suis de petite taille et je n'ai pas pu tout voire. J'ai vu des baleines mais ayant des restrictions de sécurité sur le bateau, je n'ai pas pu voire toutes les baleines. Je suis assez déçue de ça. L'équipe prend un portrait de chaque groupe, ils les impriment et les proposent à la fin du tour à chacun. 25$ le souvenir, pour nous on trouvait ça cher. Et inadmissible d'imprimer sans savoir si les clients le voulait. Ce qui est très économique pour le groupe de la cruise. Je ne suis pas déçue car nous n'avons pas payé le prix fort, au réel prix de la sortie j'aurai été déçue. Mais on a vu des baleines.. c'est le principal

Humpback whale watching

It was such a lovely morning out. We saw dolphins, plenty of different sea birds and Humpback whales. Although on out excursion there were no acrobatics it was still a wonderful experience. 100% even if you're not prone to seasickness take some tablets before you go. It was a calmer day yet many felt the swell. The crew are well prepared and do everything they can to mitigate it. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Complementary tea coffee and biscuits were a lovely added bonus. Definitely worth booking.

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.

Good experience despite rough seas

Staff were lovely, helpful and friendly. Handing out sick bags left right and centre as the sea was pretty rough going out. Saw a few whales which was amazing. Shame that they feel the need to rip the tourists off so much though.
