Traveler reviews
Best whale watching tour
Outstanding whale watching tour and the best I’ve done. Expert naturalists (Dan in particular), spotless catamaran and sailing experience. Incredible sightings including an orca hunting and three whales. Great photography included. Professional, friendly, and unforgettable. Highly recommended
Advertisement wrong
For the most part, it was okay. The fact that we didnt see much whales was very disappointing. We saw 2 -3 tales but that was it. Definitely not like it is advertised. Very disappointing especially because I had 6 other people with me with lots of expectations.
Great whale adventure!
We saw Orcas, seals and Humpback whales. Super clean boat with whale specialists and a photographer. No charge for photos which were excellent!
Can't fault
Can not fault trip Great guide Check in easy Toilets on boat kept clean Only thing I would say for your info Book direct I booked trough Tripadvisor but when looked at price direct worked out I paid £24 more than direct Trip run by Prince of Whales
Prince of whales - Don’t miss this opportunity
What an experience. Captain Karl and Second Mate Vlad steered us on a smooth adventure this morning. From the top deck I learnt lots of really fabulous facts about whales from our guide Tasmin who is a marine biologist from the UK. She gave us a commentary when needed, told us about the company’s work to ensure they are a positive influence on wildlife, told some great stories about sightings from other trips and another times was quietly watching and anticipating the reappearance of a diving whale alongside us. Together with Petra and Jonah the team ensured we were treated to views of wildlife throughout. Getting the photos taken by the team afterwards is great. You can truly relax and just watch these breath taking mammals in their natural habitat. This team really cares about the mammals they are sharing with us .. a real treat. Do where something warm - it’s worth staying outside as you just never know when something will surface.
