Amazing way to travel. Staff were very friendly, food and drink were fine. The ride was glassy. I was lucky to be treated to wonderful company in the form of two touring sisters from Australia, who told me about their country. Thanks all around, highly recommended.

We did the whale watching tour and got to see four Minke whales and an array of other wildlife. Allie the naturalist was great! She was very willing to answer questions and share her knowledge. I liked the variety of seating and standing options for the trip, as well as the photos that the staff took being shared!
