Huge shoutout to Maddie in the office and the whole team who helped get me to the cruise on time! My flight was delayed by 90 minutes but they were awesome and picked me straight up from the airport so I didn’t miss it! A fantastic experience, Phoebe was really knowledgable. Great food and the boat was in great condition.

“Heat run special!”

Toni_G, Aug 2023
Best whale watching tour we’ve been on with very knowledgeable guides… the captain spotted a “heat run” which we headed to at speed… about 8 male whales chasing a female, came up close (could hear the grunting noises, see the barnacles)…best whale watching experience ever. Also saw breaching, pectoral flapping and calves. 👍Tops

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Steve_A, Aug 2023
Great crew, very informative and lovely nature. Very helpful with boarding and pick up from wherever you are staying. Great boat with nice finger food and cold drinks including a bar to purchase alcohol if needed. Plenty of whales around and some dolphins in the distance. Would definitely recommend as the water and sunset are the so beautiful.
