Traveler reviews
Whale-Safe and Fun Tour
A lovely whale and puffin filled tour that I felt confident was treating the animals with respect and care. Appreciated their expertise and scientific background when providing information as we saw these beautiful creatures and landscapes.
This was a 9:00 a.m....
This was a 9:00 a.m. whale watching tour and the guide and the rest of the crew were excellent. We did get to see whales and other marine life.
Good Company
Good whale watch company. Easy to find, solid boat, and lots of interesting facts provided.
Whale watching
Boat had plenty of room and viewing areas. It was pouring rain the day we went but we were able to put on thick suits that kept the rain out and helped keep us warm while we watched for the whales.
Greatest show on earth!
This tour was amazing! Our guide was very friendly and informative, giving little snippets of information as we started our tour, pointing out various birds, puffins and even a dolphin. We had an incredible experience seeing a pod of 4 t were feeding so they were pretty much staying in 1 place and putting on quite a show! The boat captain and crew did a great job maneuvering the boat quickly so everyone was able to watch these beautiful creatures!
