Top day out with so many fantastic whale sightings - There was a delay in getting picked up but I understand this was not the fault of the tour operator. Quite a long bus journey to where we met the boat, but snacks, water, tea/coffee provided. Amazing sightings of the whales, will stay with me forever & got to stand at front of boat to get best view. Lots of sightings but hard to get pics as difficult to tell where they would surface!

Boat trip was great, crew... - Boat trip was great, crew were excellent spotters. Coach transfer awful, multiple delays on way there. Tour guide, obviously a few rums in, decided to try and make it a party bus on way back. Music put on at a deafening volume and ignored requests to turn it down. 3 stars for the whale watching experience only.
