What a fantastic experience although the boat was not full (only 8 of us ) the crew were as attentive and informative as I’d hoped. The close encounter with the humpback whales will remain in my memory forever. Thank you so much

Highly rated tour - there are quite a few tours being advertised at the bay so it's difficult to choose who to go with. We were recommended this company by the diving centre we scuba dived with. Different times to choose from which is good so it can work around your day. I booked online and there was an online voucher - so do Google vouchers before you pay the full price! The whole experience was smooth and well organised. The tour lasted the full 3 hours and the biologist on the ship was very informative throughout - we really liked the fact it wasn't just a boat ride but an informative ride to help you understand what you are seeing. We were very lucky - we saw sea otters, plenty of sea lions and humpback whales. Thoroughly enjoyable and worth every penny. Nature is the best thing out there and we need to support these well run and respectful tour companies who run their tours with the animals in mind!
