Absolutely exceeded all expectations. Cannot say enough good things about our trip. Staff, whales and experience all an 11/10. I am always wary booking animal experiences that the animal's welfare is put first and that the booking is not to the detriment of the animals and this tour DEFINITELY did excelled at this. We always maintained 100m from the animals as the Captain of the ship explained to us that this would allow the whales time and space to either come closer to us or to move away if they chose to. The trip was exciting (looking out and trying to spot the whales initially), thrilling (seeing them up close and even seeing them breach) and so special for our family. The staff were amazing and so knowledgable and really seemed to love their jobs. Can't fault it PLEASE GO!!
