Sea eagle and sea gulls were everywhere - and they were close to the RIB. Manon was our lady driver and she did a great job driving and making everyone feel comfortable.

“It was an insane experience. We got to see some humpbacks, a pod of orcas, eagles and many other birds. Especially seeing the whales was undescribable. There ist just something majestic about them. We also felt like we kept a good amount of distance to the animals to not disturb them. Our guide was able to spot them from a pretty far distance and told us where to look. All in all, it couldn't have been better and we would definitely do this again.”
