It is way too expensive for what it is. If it was 30-40£ I would have understood, but the experience does not pay off. For 4 min of seeing almost a tail to pay that much money is waist of time and money

the trip was fantastic, the lady navigating the whale watching was so passionate about the activity, we were so lucky and saw a whole pod of orcas and a hump back whale

Unfortunately we didn't see any whales on our tour, the tour seemed to last too long, and due to bad weather conditions it was a just a bit boring as not much of coast line could been seen. The guide did her best to spot the whales and give interesting information on whales and dolphins. I think if the tour was shorter and if we saw whales it would have been great.

After an hour travel out to the whale watching area we were greeted by a humpback whale who put on quite the show, we saw it many times over the hour we spent there and were lucky enough to see dolphins too. A real experience, worth the trip. As with everything it’s not cheap but if you have the budget we recommend!

Enjoyed it a lot; didn’t see any whales but plenty of dolphins, the crew were on the look for whales but no luck! Didn’t ruin the trip at all though

Excellent day whale watching, we saw several Humpbacks whales with a couple of them breaching despite the guide warning that this very rare. Our guide Lucas was very enthusiastic and passionate about providing an excellent experience.

Got to see some great wildlife! Guide was super informative. Only real complaint is that the boat is not super conducive to whale watching. Viewing platform can only fit around 15 people getting a good view. You basically have to rush up there and stay at the top the entire ride if you want a good view. They kept repositioning the boat so that the whales were right in front. So only those 15 people got a good look.
