The tour guide was really informative and knowledgeable. The tour saw lots of whale activity which was amazing to see them in their natural habitat. Communication prior to the trip was very good. Tour provided an option of extra clothing to keep warm as it is very cold on the tour.

Boat was lovely, I think it was rather crowded to be honest not much room to move or sit down if needed. Just disappointed with the value for money.
