A SCAM!
This business is a SCAM!!! Do not book with them. They claim to accept your reservation and take payment and then ghost you. The night before the tour they “cancelled” claiming “administration” issues. Now they say they need to resolve their own issues before they issue a refund. And their emails are clearly written by chapt gpt. Don’t believe the positive reviews. This is a scam.

Professionalism = 0
Unprofessional company. They canceled a whale-watching excursion 10 days before the event without providing the slightest explanation and without even deigning to reply to a message. Clearly, it is now also impossible to find it again with others. TRULY TERRIBLE AND UNPROFESSIONAL

Must do with Marie & Julien for honeymooners
The experience of private whale watching with Marie and Julien was wonderful; and they are very nice people to spend the afternoon with! They came to pick us up at the hotel, their boat is very nice and modern, they are well informed and professional and most importantly they respect all rules to preserve the whales environment and life (versus some other tour operators). We managed to see & swim with whales and wait for them at the right spot, we swam so close to them, the baby whale played with us and Marie guided us so well. We felt safe all the way long although it is a very impressive animal to swim with.
After that, we had a very bespoke tour as after swimming with the whales we went to see turtles and little sharks. It was perfect for our honeymoon holiday and we would go again with them if we ever come back. Especially for me it was important to choose professionals who would respect the animals and their environment while doing this amazing experience. I hope governments will keep allowing whale watching and swimming as long as professional respect rules and animal privacy.

Thank you again for making our dream come true!
We were really lucky to rely on Julien and Marie! After several unsuccessful tours, we were discouraged and worried that we would not be able to fulfill our dream of swimming with whales. Instead, they, with great professionalism, passion and dedication, did everything possible to give us this opportunity, despite the weather being unfavorable and the sea rather rough.
Thanks to their experience and attention, we were able to live a unique and unforgettable experience, which we will always carry in our hearts.
If you are looking for a reliable and really prepared team, Julien and Marie are highly recommended! Thank you again for making our dream come true!

Amazing Experience!
This was such an amazing experience! Marie and Julien were wonderful guides! I was able to swim with a pod of Pygmy orcas and three humpback whales (a mother, a calf and a friend). It was incredible and Marie and Julien were friendly and knowledgeable. I was a little scared when first getting into the water and they were very encouraging and helpful and made me feel very safe.
