Amazing!
Definitely recommend it, we saw a lot of dolphins and two sperm whales. The pilot was very friendly and knowledgeable. I’m very happy that we’ve book a tour that is a non profitable organisation too. Thanks for the amazing experience

A five star trip
Our pilot met us and told us we needed to board promptly to maximise time with a whale. We then circled the whale for a good length of time. We also saw a pod of 500 dusky dolphins. The commentary was interesting and the plane was comfortable. The trip is not for profit so all the money goes back into the aeroclub. Absolutely would recommend.
