Beautiful except

Published on Feb, 2025

We had a blast, I work in the North Sea thus have see a lot of these animals over my years, but my wife not and to see her face at seeing one was worth a thousand pictures. And the whale we saw was one of the largest I have seen. Beautiful experience

We would recommend

Published on Feb, 2025

We really enjoyed it. Easy to find and get into. Free sea sickness tablets. We saw 3 whales. The guide was funny.

An enjoyable afternoon's whale watching

Published on Feb, 2025

A very enjoyable trip during which we saw 2 hump-back whales surprisingly close to the shore. Glad I was wearing plenty of layers!

Great experience!
