Great activity, they stayed out an additional 30 minutes to make sure we got the best chance to see wales! Only one side of the boat seemed to get opportunities to see, however great value for money.

My adult daughter and I went on this whale watching trip and what a joy it was, there were 3 boats doing the same trip but we were lucky that the whale stayed around our boat and put on a wonderful show for us. I highly recommend you take the time to experience this whale watching trip, you won’t be disappointed. The captain was very knowledgeable and the rest of the staff were very friendly.
