This was a wonderful event from start to finish.

Ear protection was provided although communication with the pilot was by raised voices and pointing! We felt very safe in their hands and were very professional. The depth of knowledge of whales and their actions by the pilot was unexpected and I felt he could have talked about their migratory patterns and feeding habits for even longer.

The pilot made a good and thorough search but if the whales aren't there he can't magic them to the surface. Then he saw something we didn't and went straight to where a whale was surfacing, well before the boats were even heading in that direction. Brilliant. He stayed circling until the whale dived and went over to a pod of dolphins he had noted whilst circling. Our 30 mins was well overdue but he still took time out to have an overview flight of the area before landing.

A brilliant and memorable good experience. Very impressive.
