    Whales and wild waves

    Lisa_L, Jun 2026
    We had a lovely sunny day for the trip. But there was a lot of wind. Our guide. Captain Banana was brilliant and explained that the water was choppy and we may have to come back if it gets dangerous. Choppy ws an understatement 🤣 We were drenched and hit some mega waves.... But finally we got to see not 1 but 4 humpback whales put on an incredible acrobatic display for us! It was incredible. We did have to cut the tour short (about 1/1.5 hrs early 😞) as it became a little dangerous. This was a little disappointing after paying for the 4hr tour, but Captain Banana got us back safely to the harbour and I suppose they cannot control the weather.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted that you were able to enjoy a sunny day on the water and witness such an incredible display from four humpback whales. Encounters like that are truly unforgettable. We're also pleased to hear that Captain Banana kept everyone informed throughout the trip and prioritized safety as conditions changed. While we understand the disappointment of having to return early, guest safety is always our top priority, especially when weather and sea conditions become unpredictable. Thank you for your understanding regarding the shortened tour. Although we can't control the weather, we're glad Captain Banana was able to get everyone back safely and that you still had the opportunity to enjoy some amazing whale sightings along the way. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you aboard again under calmer seas in the future!
