Truly amazing experience - It was a excellent morning. Dom went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time and got to see some whales! Communication was great when we had to reschedule due to weather. Would definitely recommend.

Whales heading north. - Great trip! Tracey worked hard to manoeuvre our boat, to maximise our whale viewing. She was helpful, informative and an excellent guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip, and can highly recommend it.

Best whale watch ever - The boat was super fast, which came in handy when whales were seen breaching in the distance. When we got closer we got to see two whales breaching at the same time. We saw more whales that day than I ever saw over my lifetime. It was a wonderful experience and Tracey was an excellent guide. I was hesitant with the price but shortly after our journey started I realised it was much better value than any other whale watch trips I’ve been on. Only 12 passengers and cold easily see the whales as we were so close to the water…yet we didn’t get sprayed with water while on the move. They even supplied jackets to anyone who wanted one. I can’t wait to go again.
