With only 12 passengers per boat we can guarantee an adventure of a lifetime on an intimate whale watching tour. Our specially made RIB boats allow you to get closer to the whales and wildlife than any other boat can offer. The RIBs are fast and small boats that will also get you quicker to the whales and cover a bigger area as we search for the wildlife, which means a bigger chance of spotting whales, dolphins and bird life with out disturbing them in their natural habitat.
