The absolute highlight of my 6 months travelling, possibly my whole life! Fantastic!
Book a Whale Watching tour or package
Wonderful trip from beginning to end. The boat was perfectly designed for whale viewing as passengers could move freely all around including a fab platform our the back. The whole experience of seeing the whales in their domain was one we will never forget.
