Traveler reviews
It was very disappointed in this trip
Only saw a Minky whale for a second or two a few times then the ship basically turned around because of rough waters and we didn’t get to see anything else
Seeing a humpback whale was amazing
My experience was even better than I imagined it would be. Haven’t seen so many dolphins in a small area and the bonus was seeing the humpback whale and it taking a dive
Banana’s Feeding Time
We got to see Banana, the humpback whale, and his companion feeding throughout the harbor. The creatures are so majestic! There is a cabin to get warm if you come in November like we did. Overalls are also provided if you wish for when you are outside whale watching and taking pictures. Everything was clean and well organized. The only rude people you have to deal with are other tourists. The boat crew is very kind. Overall wonderful experience and would do it again.
Well recommended thank you
Booking through trip advisor was effortless. The boat was perfect size. Toilets. Cafe. Heated inside and lots of outside decking. Free warm waterproofs although not needed. Interesting commentary. And even saw a couple of whales!
This tour comes in two...
This tour comes in two parts - a morning whale-watching cruise and an evening Northern Lights viewing. The ship is comfortable with an inside lounge and ample viewing area outside. They provided warm coveralls for us to wear over our clothes. We were fortunate to have a clear evening with a very active display of lights. It was a wonderful experience.
