Fantastic!!

Fantastic experience!!’ I would highly recommend this tour. The staff weee friendly and very informative. They offer snacks and sickness tablets. We had an amazing time but what I loved the most is they don’t chase the whales. Other tours were crowding and chasing the whales but our captain was visibly annoyed by that and always turned our boat around to look elsewhere. We had a fab time and would do it again

Whale matching Mirisa

It was a truly unforgettable experience. Seeing so many whales in their natural habitat was both breathtaking and humbling. Watching these magnificent creatures gracefully emerge from the ocean was a powerful reminder of the beauty and wonder of the natural world. Every sighting felt magical, making this journey an incredible memory that I’ll cherish for years to come.

Great!

It was great! We were so happy after the tour to have found this provider. The captain cared deeply about the welfare of the animals, which is why he stays away from the mass ships. We had the animals all to ourselves, at a healthy distance for the animal and even went far beyond where other ships did not go at all. During the journey, the passengers were always looked after, which meant that nothing was missing. Thanks to the captain who was happy with the animals with us. We saw a blue whale, lots of dolphins and flying fish. It was a nice atmosphere due to the uncrowded ship (which is taken into account in the number of bookings) and the crew. Thank you!

Fantastic whale watching experience

We had the best time! They really care about the environment and the animals which was the main reason we booked this particular tour. The boat was nice and quiet ( they seat a lot less people than the other tours). This meant you could move around the boat to see things and could always get a fantastic view. We saw a blue whale and were literally the only boat there watching. Saw loads of dolphins which was lovely whilst the fisherman were catching tuna . Had a lovely dip in the ocean . They were very knowledgeable and were respectful of the whales. We got a fantastic view without feeling like we were imposing. They obviously use friends/fisherman/ local knowledge to spot whales so it was always exciting when the boat driver got a call and excitedly changed direction. All round great trip! 100 percent recommend. Worth the small amount extra compared to other tours.

Unforgettable experience

We had an amazing whale watching experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and made sure we were comfortable at all times, offering plenty of food and drinks throughout the trip. We saw so many dolphins, which was already fantastic, but spotting whales proved to be more challenging. While all the other boats had already returned to the harbor, our captain refused to give up. He continued navigating the waters, determined to find whales—and he did! By that point, I think most of the passengers had lost hope, but suddenly, the whale finally appeared. It was truly an unforgettable experience, and we are so grateful to the entire team for their perseverance and dedication in not giving up on the search. Thank you for such a special and memorable day!

Best whale watching trip I’ve ever been on - and that’s saying something!

What an amazing trip! An early start got us ahead of the other boats and we had a lovely breakfast as we made our way out to seas. We had seen a blue whale within an hour and then a huge pod of spinner dolphins. More lovely food and a swim stop, all with brilliant staff on board and a wonderfully respectful treatment of the animals

An unforgettable experience with heart and respect!

The tour was just fantastic, we saw whales and incredible numbers of dolphins. The crew was very attentive and provided us with food and drinks regularly throughout the trip. We were particularly impressed by the responsible handling of the animals: The captain always kept a healthy distance, so you could enjoy the observation without a guilty conscience. You can tell the captain his passion for the job every second – he burns so much for the animals that he even filmed enthusiastically himself. Since we only discovered the whales quite late, he extended the tour without hesitation by one hour instead of simply going back after the agreed five hours. A great team that really gives everything for its passengers. Highly recommended!

Great tour

Unfortunately, we didn’t see any whales, but we saw a lot of dolphins swimming right in front of and around our boat. Compared to the other boats, the boat from WWC was much more comfortable and not squeezed at all. I can definitely recommend the tour.
