Seeing humpbacks in their natural environment was the highlight of my birthday. The crew was knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely excited to help everyone spot wildlife. The jokes and puns were funny. The hot chocolate afterward was exactly what we needed after being out on the cold water. An unforgettable experience."
A nice excursion to see whales. The crew of the boat is welcoming, Customer Service. We could see whales up close. That's great! A nice exit.
The captain of the boat did an awesome job turning the boat so we all could see each of the whales. We saw several whales and it was a wonderful tour.
We spent a beautiful morning on the water and were able to see several whales. Our marine biologist gave us lots of information about the animals in the area. The sun was shining and the water was calm. Great boat and crew!
Very comfortable environment and knowledgeable people on the boat. We loved that we received pictures from the tour operators afterwards.
Fantastic experience Boat equipped with all amenities (we were given overalls or raincoat). Price less than half of what the Costa Cruises excursion requires. Recommended great!!! Very kind ticket office!!!
Dress warmly - but they did have very warm overalls to borrow which really helped. We saw a lot of whales - pretty constant sightings for about an 1 1/2 hours. Overall exceeded expectations
Well what an experience. The young lady guide stated that the weather was very unusual, very calm but with a strong breeze. She also stated that they had never had to go so far out to spot whales, and then it all really kicked off. We saw some amazing once in a lifetime whale displays. Thank you all so much.
Very poor 3 hour trip only 2.5 hrs Taken around the fiord and not into the open sea where another company had gone and saw whales Make sure they plan to do the 3 hour whale watching trip and will take you out into the open ocean as that is where you are likely to see whales If they change the time of the trip or itinerary I would cancel and use some one else
Great trip, worth the money! The captain knew just where the whales were. It was a great excursion for my husband and our friends. I got some terrific pictures.
