Great whale watching tour, saw many animals - We had a great tour and saw lots of animals. Sperm whales, a sea turtle, dolphins and even sei whales. The crew tried very hard to ensure that we had a great sighting, and they succeeded. At the end we were given a snack and drinks, as well as a small postcard with our names and the species of animals we saw. That was a very nice gesture. Thank you for this successful trip.

Try it! - They gave us a waterproof suit that I strongly advise you to wear. We saw lots of dolphins and sperm whales in their natural habitat, a turtle and the majestic blue whale!! We were delighted with how lucky we were!

It is recommended - A great experience, we managed to see some animals, less than we liked but we knew it depended on luck. It was obvious that the company's staff enjoyed doing what they do and that always improves the experience.

Again?! Probably not. - We were lucky and saw some animals.
1 1/2 points deducted for the briefing, the competition can be more informative than with the E. There is a preliminary discussion and one afterwards. Questions are answered there.
Take a leaf out of their book!

Overall good experience - Trip was nice, unfortunately no whales encountered, hence 4/5 as we saw some common dolphins and two sea turtles though, at least.
Small group of 5 (off-season), with nice and professional staff.
