Whale watching
Fantastic. One ticked off my bucket list. The skipper was great and got us exactly to the spots to get great views of the whales and for photos. We saw two pods and they came up really close to the boat. Plenty of tails, fins and jumps.
Our whale expert Mette was brilliant and told us a lot of facts.
Well worth the money. Get booking with them
Operator response
Thank you for the kind words and the lovely recommendation. We are delighted we could tick this one off your bucket list, with our skipper finding two pods that came up close and Mette sharing all the facts along the way. Plenty of tails, fins and jumps to remember it by. We hope to have you back on board again.
