Unfortunately we did not get to spot any whale. But the view of the Orka family completely made up for it.

No whales sighted, but still fun

We unfortunately didn’t get see any whales, but the company did offer another tour to try and make up for it. We were out there for quite some time so you could tell that they really did make an effort to try and find them. Being on a rib boat was quite the experience within itself so 4/5. Would recommend bringing a change of clothes.

We loved this tour so much. We're glad that we took a RIB Boat Tour as we were able to go faster, get closer to potential sightings, and have a smaller group. The boat itself felt extremely safe even though we were going quite fast. We were able to see a whale on the tour and the team did a great job of explaining what was happening/what we were seeing. They do provide gear to wear on the boat so you don't get wet/stay warm.

We got about 10ft from a humpback whale which was awesome. Our guide was really knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information. And I appreciated that they kept in mind the well-being of the whales and not just happy tourists

Despite the fact that it started raining hard during this trip and we got quite wet, we still really enjoyed it. We saw humpback whales, one was fin slapping and jumping, enjoying himself and at the end we saw two whales swimming together. We were well looked after by this company and would recommend them.

Excellent trip. The guide was very knowledgable and the boat captain was patient and very nice. We saw several humpback whales on our trip. I chose the RIB boat because I get sea sick. I did not feel nauseous at all on the trip. It was great to have a fast boat so they we could speed towards a water spout when we saw it. Also, having a small group on the boat we were 4 was so much better than having 40 people as seen on the bigger ships. Would highly recommend despite the higher price.

Great experience!! Very friendly and helpful staff. We saw four whales and one of them did some amazing jumps, from a close distance. Due to the speed and flexibility of the RIB boat we could reach the whales fast and do the whole tour within 2hrs, which is very important. If you sometimes feel dizzy in the see the RIB boats could limit that compared to the other boats offering whale watching tours. Totally recommended it despite the fact that in general these tours are, for me, significantly overpriced.

Good but no whales

Sortie sympa en bateau mais malheureusement nous n'avons pas vu de baleines... Le guide était très gentil. C'est cher pour quelque chose qui ne vous assure pas de voir ce bel animal sauvage. Préférez une autre sortie moins chère qui vous garantira autant de voir des baleines bien que l'expérience soit peut être moins sympa. Néanmoins le lendemain nous avons pu réitérer l'expérience gratuitement à bord d'un plus gros bateau et avons pu apercevoir au loin quelques baleines. À faire !
