Peter & Ute Hausermann

An incredible experience We had never made a trip to see the Big 5 and it was an incredible experience. The guides were very professional, it was seen that they were super involved with the maintenance and conservation of animals and the environment. We explained very clearly the rules and what we should do at all times. During the trip very attentive and outstanding of all at all times. Thank you once again.

Absolutely incredible experience - We had the good fortune to see Orcas on our tour - very unusual for this time of year. The whole experience was exceptional, well thought out, informative and educational. The special touches of ginger or mint, and the hot soup on return were very much appreciated, and shows just how much thought goes into the little details, along with the big important details of safety, and jackets, etc. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.

had a really great experience on this boat tour. The crew was amazing, very friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the entire trip. Unfortunately, I got seasick during the tour, but the crew took great care of me and made sure I felt supported and comfortable, which I really appreciated. They clearly did their best to help everyone see as many animals as possible and were very engaged in making the experience special for everyone on board. The whole tour was well organized, relaxed, and very enjoyable overall. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great experience on the water!
