Just love those whales!

Great "no frills" tour. We had our little dog on holidays and had to leave her at the unit so the shorter 3 hour cruise was perfect for us. The boat was comfortable, the staff could not be friendlier, and the knowledge they shared was informative and entertaining. Highly recommended and will definitely go again. The added bonus is that the money goes toward whale research and not into someone's pockets!
