We really enjoyed the whole tour from the weather, the insights from the guide and not forgetting the main highlight seeing the whales! Even though it was for brief moment, it was truly something magical for us to see it in real life (and not reel life). The boat ride was slightly rocky especially when we were out in the open waters (so I advice to have your sea-sick pills before) I'd definitely would go back again and would hope to see them more I was lucky enough to catch 1 on video too!

The lunch we had was really good and came out at a nice easy pace, so you didn't feel rushed. Our server was extremely friendly and attentive. While others left early at one of the stops, we were glad we stayed to the end as we made a further run in the harbour. It was a great way see around the area. The atmosphere aboard was relaxing and we were so to have chosen this trip.
