We were lucky to have a wonderful weather. All was very well organized, A very good guide / crew member Kaja has given us plenty information about the whales, ocean the capitain found and followed at least 3 humbaks , dolphins. We were able to observe the life of puffins. And the cinnamone cake and warm chocolade at the end of such a succesful trip. Thank you! Highly recommended!

Empfehlenswerte Tour, freundliches Personal. Man bekommt einen warmen Overall, trotzdem ist warme Bekleidung darunter sehr wichtig, denn in einem offenen Boot auf dem Nordatlantik pfeift der Wind anständig und es ist kühler als auf dem Land. Wir hatten darunter bis zu acht (!!) Schichten angezogen und daher war es uns nicht kalt. Haube und warme Schuhe sind unerlässlich!

The crew was very knowledgeable and caring. We saw so many whales and dolphins that we lost tract of the count! We went on the 9:00 am tour and were given warm coveralls that also act as lifejackets!! When it started to rain, they gave us raincoats to wear over our coveralls to keep them dry for the next group. A few people got sea sick and the crew was very caring for them. As we returned to port, they served cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate!! They care very much for the wildlife and don't use any form of sonar, they just rely communications with other boats, their knowledge of where they feed, and watch for signs of whales. I would highly recommend!!
