We took the 7.30am boat on Friday the 3rd April. Firstly the crew are so so lovely and full of knowledge but not thrown at you like a lecture. The boat is super comfy we were luck to only be a group of 24 people but it's still spacious if full. The bar provided was great and great snacks as we were hungry as still on UK time! Getting on board was easy and great for all abilities. The best part was we managed to see some whales we say a baby and a mom with a group of males trying their luck to which she waved them off. The photographer on board was a great extra and very reasonable photo package price.
