Das Boot war etwa 14m lang, also doch kleiner als erwartet und auch die Anzahl der anderen Touristen hielt sich in Grenzen. Es war ziemlich kalt als wir Mitte September gefahren sind, aber ws gab Overalls und heiße Schokolade + Tee und Kaffee zum aufwärmen! Wir haben 3 verschiedene Buckelwale gesehen. Die Tour war super! Der Anbieter Elding whale Watching ist ein Familienbetrieb und Naturschutz ist wichtig. Die Wale werden nicht verfolgt und dadurch unter Stress gesetzt. Trotzdem kamen wir sehr nah an sie. Die Tour ist zu empfehlen!

The trip was great, although in hindsight we have reservations. There was a whale that was circled by 3 boats, whether that is environmentally conscious and likes the whale we now dare to doubt. But the boat, the crew and the guide are waiting great.

The meeting spot was incredibly easy to find, the boat had lots of seating and felt very safe. The guide was excellent, easy to hear and understand. Best of all, we saw multiple whales!

So so cool! We saw about 20 whales on our visit and one was a super close encounter. Great amenities on board the ship including food, drinks and overalls. Highly recommend!

It was really great to watch the whales. I recommend
