Ondanks de slechte weersomstandigheden en de wat wildere zee toch walvissen gezien! Ongelooflijke ervaring op een prachtig stuk natuur. Pilletjes voor zeeziekte liggen klaar aan de balie.

Great experience. We saw so many whales and three different types of species. Could not be better...

Unfortunately we did not see any whales, but we saw some dolphins. We knew upfront there is a slim chance to see whales, but they could rename the tour to "Wildlife Watching" instead of Whale Watching
