Magical experience
I'm still pinching myself that we got to do this! The whole day was magical. The booking process with Dundee was so simple too.

Great day out, minor hiccup
Really enjoyed the experience overall. The pickup timing was a bit off and we waited 20 minutes, but once we got going it was fantastic. Staff were lovely.

Lovely experience
Had a really nice time. The scenery was breathtaking and our guide was knowledgeable. Lunch options could have been better but overall well worth it.

Okay experience
The activity itself was fun but the organisation left a bit to be desired. Bus was late, lunch was average. The actual experience made up for it somewhat.

Exceeded all expectations

### An adventure-packed tour that promises excitement at every turn!

By limiting our tours to small groups, we provide space, comfort, and an intimate, personalised experience that larger tours can’t match.

On our tours, there is the unique opportunity to swim with the whales, creating an unforgettable encounter before the crowds arrive. Whale swimming is offered for guests who want an immersive experience. Swimming with whales is strictly on their terms and follows our license guidelines, and is not guaranteed on any tours.
