Respectful Whale Watching on a Wooden Boat and Swim

Plus: Excellent boat trip, very interesting and informative. Small bar to buy drinks but water was free. Saw many whales and dolphins, then stopped off for much needed swim. Negative: upon booking, it was stated on ticket to arrive 15 min before due departure. If anyone arrived late the boat will not wait. So we arrived as requested, 15 minutes early, while waiting to board boat , the sun was blazing down on us 28 deg, no shade,every one was so hot. Eventually allowed to board boat, only to then sit in the blazing sun again while everyone else borded. THEN, it appeared that we were WAITING for some one who hadn't bothered to get there the 15 minutes early . In the end we were 15 minutes late departing. Why did they wait for them???? No consideration for all of us who had made the effort.

Nice trip to see the whales and dolphins. Captain was good at pointing them out and saying when to take a photo. Dip in the sea at the end although if you have a learner/non swimmer there is nothing for them to use to keep above water and it's cold (as you would expect from the ocean so it takes your breath away)

An absolute wonder, both the excursion and the crew. 100% recommended

Worth the price nice and friendly we was lucky got to see some whales easy to book and lots of space to move around

This trip was nothing short of exceptional, me and my boyfriend loved every minute we saw so many whales up close. The crew and Andy were all lovely and the boat itself was so cool. Excellent value for money and the swim at the end is a bonus. 5 stars loved it so much

Great value and a first class experience. Managed to get the two hour whale watching with a swim for 30 euros. Was sat at the top of the Shogun near the captain who was good craic'. Poses for photos with all the kids and lets them wear his hat. Gave a 5 euros tip at the end we enjoyed it that much.

Good fun, saw lots of dolphins, and some small whales

Unforgettable experience watching whales and dolphins. We took a boat trip to see whales and dolphins, and the experience was simply spectacular. From the very first moment, everything was very well organized; the trip was beautiful, and we were lucky to enjoy these animals in an incredible setting. But what really made the difference was the treatment we received from Israel. He was a charming, approachable, kind, and very professional person at all times. It is clear that he enjoys his work and cares that all passengers have a special experience. He explained everything to us with great patience, paid attention to every detail, and made the excursion even more beautiful. Without a doubt, a completely recommendable activity. We took home a precious memory and, above all, we are very grateful for the human and attentive treatment from Israel. We would repeat it without a second thought.

Excellent trip for whale and dolphin spotting. We took the 2 hour short cruise. Saw about 5 pods of pilot whales and 3 pods of dolphins. We got within 10-20 meters of some whales, who swam alongside the boat for a minute or two, while some dolphins swam underneath the boat. You won't need binoculars! The swim stop is short, so book the 5 hour trip if you want more than quick dip. Staff were friendly and helpful, water is provided for free, drinks for 2-3 euros.
