Walvisobservatie

The trip was well organized; we boarded the boat quickly and set off. The guide told us that the chance of seeing whales was very high since they had seen some the day before. We were indeed successful and had about 30-40 minutes to observe the whales. They adhere to the rules and keep their distance; unfortunately, there were other boats that illegally let swimmers into the water, which scared the whales away. However, our provider could not be blamed for that. They are very dedicated to finding whales and take sufficient time. One star deduction, as the boat was not perfect for observation in my opinion, since everything was closed at the front and we had to position ourselves relatively closely together at the back. However, the boat was only occupied by 8 people, so it was not too crowded. I would book it again.

Good service, good information, good atmosphere

We loved it! Even though the whales were shy and it was raining for a little bit. We totally loved the experience of waiting, watching, spotting the whales, seeing the flying fish. It was wonderful. When we got back in the area of the harbour we even spotted a dolphin.

Amazing to be able to see these amazing sperm whales in their natural habitat. The tour operators are respectful of the natural habitat of these amazing creatures and allow us to spend some time with them in a way that doesn't cause distress to them. Blessed to have seen a pod of 8 whales including mother and baby. The tour guides knowledge of the sperms whales was second to none. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

We were staying in Belle Mare (opposite side of the island) and twice whilst we were driving across in the morning the trip was cancelled due to bad weather/rough seas. We tried to book with another company but it was too late, it seems that most trips start at 4/5am whilst theirs start at 9am. Also other companies were already out and had seen whales on the second day they cancelled us. We simply could not keep amending days and driving across the island repeatedly to then be cancelled on. Refund was given pretty swiftly.

I’m unable to leave a review for this as my trip was cancelled by the tour operator and I didn’t experience Whale watching. I look forward to receiving my full refund. Thanks

We made the booking a month in advance. On the day of our trip we got message 1 & 1/2 before the booking (when we were on our way in taxi) that our trip is cancelled due to rough conditions on sea and strong wind. When we arrived there was no wind, really calm day and from a viewpoint we saw that even the sea was really calm... We got offer to reschedule to another day, but thats impossible if you are on a short vacation just like us.

Excellent trip. Really well organised , good communication and information given before hand . Easy to find straight on the boat . Guides friendly and good information and explanations given . Very respectful of the whale and its peace and safety . Water and soft drinks provided . Toilet on boat and driver and guide helpful and knowledgable. Highly recommend and we saw mother and baby and female on way back diving and got tail shot !!!

We had a wonderful tour and were incredibly lucky. We spent a long time alone with a young sperm whale. I would like to emphasise in particular that the welfare of the Waale has been given great attention, this unfortunately cannot be said of other providers. After some time, they did not arrive carefully and then went snorkeling, so the Waal was then also very quickly gone.

Fast-paced tour by speedboat out to sea, experienced skipper and guide, large whale family discovered and observed. However, the tour lasted only around . 2 hours instead of the stated time of 3 hours. Also there was water on request only in the cup, not in bottles for the individual; unfortunately there were no other drinks! Therefore, deduction of total points...
