No luck spoting whales, but the views worth it. Had a great time.

Captain Edgar gave us some theoretical information about the sperm whales first and afterwards took us on an amazing flight out over the sea. We saw two whales - great!

We saw a sperm whale lying on the surface taking oxygen for 10 minutes before he went back diving. A great experience and friendly staff.
