      Jennie 20 October 2019

      Unfortunatley this experience was a complete flop! I dont get seasick or my friend but it was so choppy out at sea that it would have been better to post phone it until another time. More than half the people were sick and hardly a sighting of any whales. I know that it is "pot luck" if we see whales, but 3 hours looking at the ocean whilst listeing to and watching people throw up was NOT a pleasant experience.

      whale watching was great

      A Rotten Day for the seas. No whales. But excellent service. A complimentary return booking, to be used up to year. The 4 * is no reflection on the company Thank you. Maureen

      Whale Watching is a really great experience

      Les 13 August 2017

      The crew were very friendly and well informed. We were out watching Whales for a long time and even saw a seal alongside the boat. A really excellent 3 hours

      A great morning.

      Heather 23 July 2017

      The day was good weather wise - very breezy out on the water but with appropriate dress it was comfortable. Staff /crew were great giving us lots of information along the way. We were lucky enough to see a couple of whales so the whole experience was very enjoyable. Thanks for a great morning.

      Whale Watching. 2/7/17

      Was a pretty cold day, seas were a bit rough. Overall the day was spectacular, saw a few pods, two humpbacks cane so close to our boat that I feel we could have reached out and touched them. I will be going again before the season is over. The price is more than reasonable for the length of the trip, which I think went a little over 3 hrs but no one was complaining.
