    A great day Whale Watching This turned out to be a great day. The crew were all very sweet , helpful and friendly and we actually got to see 13 whales that day on April 19th, 2023. The boat was large enough where everyone got a seat or a place to watch. We are vegan, and pre-ordered a vegan meal of Paella, and it was tasty. They had a swim session at the endl. All in all, I would highly recommend this tour.

    Helpful and professional advice Interaction with Andreea from the get go was flawless and really helpful, guiding us through the options and explaining which one would be our best choice, until we finalized and choose one of our best trips. We definitely would recommend having Andreea as a guide for the reason of being able to make the right choices.

    Amazing Experience All I can say is DO IT!!! such a wonderful experience and Lee and Emily were just the best, couldn't fault them. Got collected from our hotel and taken to where we needed to pick everything up, got jackets and helmets. Lee talked you through everything and from start to finish they were both so helpful, kind and informative. Little breaks along the way up for biscuits and a little history lesson. Then the sunset was breath taking. 100% buy the pictures such amazing memories to keep. We are doing this again for sure. All I will say is there are soooo many companies but trust me go with these guys.
