Seeing the humpback...

Published on Sep, 2023

Seeing the humpback whales up close, and having a knowledgeable guide. The hot chocolate and cinnamon roll was a nice touch at the end of the tour :)

Quietly watching 5 whales, fantastic!

My daughter and I book the eco-friendly silent ship. We saw 5 humpback whales. One close by the ship and swiming underneath the ship. Fantastic!

Great experience, only made better by the electric / carbon neutral aspect

Published on Jul, 2023

Believe the hype and enjoy the ride. The silent board really does add to the experience, not only because it is less stressful to the whales but also because it is more relaxing to the passengers. The knowledge that you are carbon neutral when experiencing nature at its best is also a very valuable benefit. Compared to other places where I’ve gone whale watching, I’d argue the Bay is probably a bit choppier and the whales surface for a little shorter time but the crew is excellent and spotting them and approaching them in a respectful and thoughtful manner, and ensures that everyone has a shot at witnessing the moment. The guides are passionate and knowledgeable and they really invest in making sure that people have a great time. Practical considerations: - you’re given special overalls so you stay warm. There is a considerable difference in temperature between shore and sea and the overalls are very welcome - not specific to this provider but I would not recommend for very young kids, especially kids prone to motion sickness - if you are prone to motion sickness, sit towards the back, it won’t move as you will still see perfectly

Highly recommended

Blue skies, humpbacks and skilled personnel. Thanks for a great experience! We will be back sometime.

Don’t miss it!!!!!

Published on Jul, 2023

We. Managed to admire a whole breaching so that was amazing, we were lucky enough to also spot white beaked dolphins passing by. Headed to the puffin island while sailing and this was also magic!!!! To particularly note the crew kindness and above all the thorough details provided by the guide (a British young lady- sorry I missed the name) extremely knowledgeable, passionate and a bold Sailor indeed. Thank you!!!!!
