Super

Que se soit l'accueil de l'équipage. Le buffet et la qualité de la nourriture. Mais surtout l'ensemble des explications tout au long de la croisière. Le plus est le respect des distances pour ne pas déranger les animaux, et le ralenti des moteur voir l'arrêt. Ce qui permet aux baleines de venir bec curiosité au plus proche contrairement à d'autres bateaux qui vont les faire fuire sans remords. Je recommande, super expérience.

Good experience

Very professional. The lunch isn't the greatest but it's good. We saw a mother humpback and her puppy, they made us a great show with jumpings. Very Nice day, I would definitely recommend it :)

Amazing cruise

We started the cruise with a nice buffet lunch then stopped to spot a whale and it turned out there were 2 of them: a mum and her baby. The whales played around the boat and kept jumping and showing their tail, it was amazing and so beautiful! Also the crew was friendly and helpful. I recommend this tour!
