Customer Reviews

Es war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis mit den Robben zu schwimmen. Wir hatten sehr viel Gluck mit dem Wetter, den das Wasser war klar und man konnte die Tiere sehr gut beobachten. Eine grosse Gruppe von Robben kam sofort zu uns und hat neugierig mit uns gespielt. Die Betreuung war super, so dass wir uns immer sicher gefuhlt haben . Es ist ein tolles Abenteuer. Vielen Dank an das ganze Team - Cornelia Bühne

Really enjoyed the trip. Was well done, guides were knowledgeable and managed to find the dolphins which was fantastic. Would highly recommend it. - Adam Marcus


Great experience all round! - Kyle Wall


Unfortunately we did not see whales as it was not whale season however it was still an absolutely awesome experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable and told us extremely interesting facts about the dolphins and seals which we did see. Safety always came first.
