“The perfect amount of time to spend out on the water, with really lovely views from a clean, modern boat. Our group was lucky to have stunning weather the day of our tour, unfortunately we were only able to see the fin of a minke whale and not much else. With the limited wildlife viewing, all tour participants were given back their ticket to do the tour again at a later date with the hope to see more wildlife another time.”
