Our guide, David, was knowledgeable about a lot of topics and willing to answer our questions. He and the captain went out of their way to ensure we “found” whales.

Amazing experience!

Whale watching was simply wonderful. The staff were knowledgeable and really friendly. The atmosphere on the boat was upbeat. There were blankets and overalls to keep people warm, plus hot drinks! Managed to see two whales pop up from the water a few times! It was magnificent watching them dive!

Amazing trip

Had an amazing birthday on whale watching trip. Staff very knowledgeable and friendly. Boat was comfy, hot drinks available to help with the cold. Will definitely book again with this company. Very professional from start to Finnish.

Magical experience

The staff were lovely. It was -19 and icy and the staff were so attentive and friendly. We saw the lovely humpback Piccolo which was a magical experience. I would not hesitate to recommend

What a journey

Published on Jan, 2025

Amazing experience, the staff were so nice and friendly, definitely recommend it. I mean just the boat trip on its own is already a treat, with beautiful views and on top of that the main attraction, the whales. Im glad that I’ve done it.
