“Amazing experience. The boat and crew are fantastic - friendly, very organised, informative talks about the fjords and whales (which you can choose to listen/ engage with). The boat is very comfortable - I am nervous on boats but felt very safe. The ethical approach to whale watching is very important - we were able to approach whales silently and did not disturb them. The views and scenery of the journey to the feeding grounds is amazing - it is worth the money just for that. Highly recommend”
