Amazing experience. Absolutely a dream come true! We were lucky enough to see over 100 Orca. I love that when all the other boats weren't being respectful of the whales our boat backed off to protect and be respectful. I'll definitely be back. I'd like to bring my children next time.

Unfortunately, we were not able to make this tour due to arriving 5 minutes beyond the 'meeting/start time' that was noted on our booking tickets. There was no information given on any of the last communications we received to meet 15 min. early, and I only saw that when looking back at the original ad to book. Nevertheless, we were making every effort possible to arrive at least that early anyway, but tried for 40 min. to get a 10 min. Uber ride to the meeting point and were unable to. When we did arrive, it was not clear from the address (Kaigata 6) where we were to be, and no number to call to tell anyone of our situation. I'm sure it was a great tour, but we had no way of contacting anyone locally. Later, we were not only denied a refund but couldn't talk to a real person about any of this during or after our disappointing experience =(! I know they have a full boat booked and must pay that to the tour provider, but I hope they will consider giving the information for contacting them (or they the participants) on site in case of similar situations, as well as providing clear information on the last emails about meeting times and locations.

It was a long day! Prepare yourself for a long day! The boat is beautiful and comfortable and the staff was very nice. It took us about 4 hours to get to where the whales were and the guides were very helpful in helping us identify the whales once we found them. We were lucky enough to see a ton of sperm whales. The scenery is beautiful and witnessing the whales was majestic. The guides do a great job of educating us about the whales during the travel time. Food was good and overall a good time but just a long day in a confined space. Make sure to take dramamine before you go as well!

For the amount we paid we expected atleast a free coffee or they should have given free lunch given that tour was for 8 hours. Plus i hardly saw the tail of the whale the whole boat was crowded in the front and it was so shaky that you couldn’t take a risk to go to the edges to see it. They should’ve atleast kept binoculars for people to see. The boat was overcrowded so most of us had to share tables with other groups which was very uncomfortable. The journey was almost 7 hours up and down and the whole whale watching dint even last for an hour. I am sorry but for the amount we paid it was not a good experience.

Even though we were able to see only couple of sperm whales. The journey was the most exciting part with the beautiful sunrise, full moon and mountains. It was truly breathtaking to cruise through the fjords taking in all those beautiful moments the nature has to offer. The crew members were amazing and knowledgeable. Thank you
