We were unlucky & didn't see anything first trip, but we used the free return pass provided a couple of days later & saw loads of dolphins & two whales. Have done this trip before & would do it again. Great value through book me as we paid 1/2 price

It was an incredible adventure with the opportunity to see pods of Dolphins and 3 whales. The crew were incredible and it was amazing for us to listen to the marine biologist and learn more about these incredible creatures. The Captain Andy was was friendly and very knowledgeable. Thank you for this amazing experience. Highly recommend for families. Our 6 year old can’t stop talking about it.

We have a wonderful day, it was a bit rough as the winds were high but the views were gorgeous and we got to see a very large pod of dolphins which was incredible. So lucky to have this wonderful activity on our doorstep
