We saw a mother and baby whale. Both jumped out of the water. The crew was great and the overall experience was fantastic.

Absolutely exceeded all expectations. Cannot say enough good things about our trip. Staff, whales and experience all an 11/10. I am always wary booking animal experiences that the animal's welfare is put first and that the booking is not to the detriment of the animals and this tour DEFINITELY did excelled at this. We always maintained 100m from the animals as the Captain of the ship explained to us that this would allow the whales time and space to either come closer to us or to move away if they chose to. The trip was exciting (looking out and trying to spot the whales initially), thrilling (seeing them up close and even seeing them breach) and so special for our family. The staff were amazing and so knowledgable and really seemed to love their jobs. Can't fault it PLEASE GO!!

We totally recommend this cruise. The catamaran is a great way to view the whales. Skipper, Frank, was very informative and pointed out whale sightings. Staff on board were friendly and very helpful.

The Imagine is a lovely boat with an attentive crew.
I liked that there wasn’t to many people on this tour as the boat is not huge.
It was super cold but there were plenty of wind jackets and blankets available that the crew handed out to keep us feeling toasty.
Seen plenty of playful whales 🐋 and some lazy Seals, sunning themselves on the rocks.

We gave up counting the number of whale mum, bub and escorts, and their breeches. Once in a lifetime experience. And not to forget the fur seals and dolphins.

The crew were very friendly and constantly made rounds to check on anybody that was feeling a little seasick. Unfotunately we weren't able to see any whales up close as we were slightly off-season, though we did see some dolphins that came up to play, swimming around the boat. We also saw lots of seals basking on the rocks and diving into the sea. We were offered a second chance to come back on another day free of charge as part of their guarantee, but did not have time to go back on our trip.

The boat was amazing, there was a bit of swell once out the bay but my daughter had a great time at the front watching the waves. We saw dolphins, seals and a couple of whales reasonably up close, and deployed the sail on the way back. Great team with good sense of humour and loved the sea shanties played. Whale ale was a nice celebratory touch. Overall a great boat trip adventure.

My husband and I had a great 3-hour cruise, especially as the weather was perfect! The boat’s captain was very informative and the crew kept checking that we were okay and added extra information. We got to see a male dolphin by himself and a pod of them a little later. We were lucky and observed a mother whale and her calf and another mother and calf with her companion. There was also viewing of some seals on rocks and several of them dived into the sea. The boat provided jackets and blankets as once you got out into open water, it did get a bit cool.
