An exciting up-close encounter with the Giant Sperm Whale at all times of the year!
Appreciate it can be hit and miss with the wildlife but we lucked out seeing seals, dolphins, a pod of orcas and 2 sperm whales. Once in a lifetime experience! The team were fantastic throughout - well organised and so knowledgeable. Highly recommend
What a fantastic trip. Saw 3 whales and pods of dolphins - just so many. Crew very informative and helpful. Would definitely recommend.
I like Whale watch, as finally I have seen whales twice, but it was so quick less than 2 minutes in total and it was so far. I cannot recommend it for children. My husband very disappointed that even hasn't taken photo of it, none. As you have a choice to take a quick shot or watch the whales by your eyes half a minute. I can understand if you see smth intresting during the trip. Yeah, we have seen a couple of Orcas, but it was so far as well. But it was very good luck we have been told. I can imagine how it would be boring without it. Some people haven't seen nothing more except their seats in the cabin and white paper bags, as be aware that you can experience seasickness. I know that this is wild nature and so difficult to predict what you can see today. But would I pay this amount to repeat it, compared with other experiences, definitely no.
Their education and interpretation of the local marine environment has deteriorated significantly over the last decade. Given the numbers of visitors they have each year, they surely have a social responsibility to promote this amazing area and marine park, of which there was barely a mention and what positive measures the visitors can do themselves after leaving.
