The crew on this whale watching trip could not have been more friendly, helpful and informative. It was a small ship adventure which suited everyone on board. It was easy to maneuver from side to side and front to back of the boat during the many whale and dolphin sightings. My hotel concierge recommended this particular ship and crew for the above reasons and I’m glad he did.

We had a fantastic time seeing two different species of whales plus a large pod of dolphins. Our hosts were excellent. They spoke to everyone on the boat and gave a lot of information about everything we Saw. And they were upbeat and enthusiastic. I believe their names were Reed and Pete? The boat captain was also excellent. Thank you!

I am so glad I picked this tour company, I had an amazing experience. At first I was a little overwhelmed by the choice so I went down to the Wharf to speak to people from the different companies and definitely got the best vibe from Discovery. I wasn't disappointed, as the onboard naturalists were great and I loved the small boat which felt more personal. I felt like the boat crew were just as enthusiastic as the guests and took time to speak to everyone on board. They also made sure to highlight topics relevant to conservation and responsible ecotourism which I think is so important. Definitely go for these guys!
