Whale Watching - Really enjoyed the experience. Managed to see Minke and Hump Back Whales. The guide was very informative, and the captain got us really close them. Only downside was the rain, but no-one can do anything about that.

Nice whale watching trip - Very efficient check in, done inside the restaurant. The boat was large and comfortable with both indoor and outdoor seating. We saw all four species of sea mammal, and many, many puffins. Great experience.
