Had had a boat trip booked for yesterday by our tour agent when first planning this trip but when we checked in, found that 4m swells prevented sailings. Our tour agent had warned of the possibility & recommended we consider the flying option in that event, so booked in & the office team suggested deferring a day for calmer conditions, which I did.
Safety briefing prior to departure then up & out. Our pilot, Mike had just come back from a flight where they’d spotted a Sperm Whale & from his knowledge of their behaviour he hoped that it would be back on the surface for ours, which it was. Dropped down to c500 feet & circled the Whale for around 10 mins until it dived again. Scouted around but no more Whales, although we did see a couple of pods of Dolphins.
Very smooth flight, and landing, with the added bonus of some high-level views of the snow-capped mountains.
Top team, brilliant experience!
Hi Mike, thank you for your wonderful review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your experience.
Great trip - for the first 20min we didn't see anything then saw 3 whales in the last 10min! Great staff
Fantastic staff who knew their stuff, very friendly and relatable. We were the only ones booked and needed at least 2 more to book to be able to go ahead, loved that they allowed time for that to happen overnight, not cancelling straight away, and so when the call came to confirm we were rapt. We were lucky enough to see a sperm whale a pod of pilot whales and dolphins, plus the scenery was beautiful.
Loved loved our experience, thank you.
Excellent experience, very professional. All staff were friendly and we appreciated the lift to the airfield from town.
Would fully recommend to anyone, and we saw orcas nd dolphins which was very special.
Thankyou!
Excellent experience from the time we arrived to when we left.
Friendly experienced staff who really enjoy their work.
When out of there way to find a humpback whale for us to see.
