Customer Reviews

Wir hatten ein beeindruckendes Erlebnis mit Ocean Safaris. In einem kleinen Boot fur hochstens 12 Teilnehmer fuhren wir in die Bucht und sichteten nach kurzer Zeit den ersten Wal. Das Boot blieb ca. 100 m vom Wal entfernt stehen, und dieser kam zum Greifen nah ans Boot und umkreiste es mehrmals. Weitere Wale kamen hinzu, sogar eine Mutter mit Kalb! Des Weiteren wurden wir wahrend der ganzen Fahrt von unzahligen Delfinen und auch Robben begleitet. Eine wunderbare Fahrt! - Bettina


Dies war meine erste Whale watching Tour, da ich bisher starke Vorurteile vor solchen Touren hatte und als Touristennepp betrachtete. Mit dieser Tour wurde ich eines besseren belehrt. Unser Guide war sehr kompetent, hat sehr viel erklart uber das Verhalten der Wale, Delfine und Robben und wir haben alle Tiere auch gesehen und beobachten konnen, ohne dass diese gestresst wurden oder gefluchtet sind. Ich kann mit meiner neuen Meinung die Tour nur empfehlen. - Thomas


What an amazing tour. Seals and Whales - even saw a Whale Jumping and a few ones very close by. Of course you can't guarantee sightings (we were told that there had been an Orca the day before) - however, the information you get about the nature at Pletty in general as well as about the animals make the trip really worthwhile. The energy and humor of guide and skipper were great - we had a lot of fund! - Tobias


Loved every minute of it Guide was funny and knowledgeable Plenty of time to stop and take photos He also helped us understand more about the whales and got photos of us with the whales in the background Worth the money and would definitely recommend - Karen
