Lots of whales, great crew, and even got followup report and photos. Weather was not great so appreciated extra warming gear and seasickness tablet, for worry-free comfort.

We do this tour once per year and every time we are more and more impressed. The guides have a good knowledge about the different type of whales and dolphins.

We saw some dolphins that were swimming under and around the boat and jumping right next to us. It seemed like we were going to miss whales, but then we saw a couple of minke whales and followed them for a bit. They gave a lot of great info about the animals and were very kind. They also took photos that they freely shared which I thought was really cool. I also liked that it was a bigger boat so the sea sickness was less of an issue, and that is saying something from me.

Elding was a very professional company. We saw humpbacks and dolphins in late June. Snacks/bar available. Has inside and outside viewing spaces.

My partner and I went in May 2023 and it was an amazing experience. We managed to see a few humpback whales on the trip, which were active and breaching!

Great excursion. Saw the humpback, minke and dolphins. Free photos available but I need the email to access them. Please send me the tour operators email. Thank you
Some tips.
Dress warm
Sit lower deck for less motion if you get sea sick.
Listen to the guide to spot whales.
Bring a rain jacket

We saw so many whales! Humobacks, minke and dolohins galore. The guide was knowledgeable and helpful and they allowed us access to all of the ohotos that they took from the bridge which is a bonus!
