The most fantastic experience of my life.

Originally we had planned to do the sea trip. We fully understand that they are wild creatures and don't appear on demand. .

We decided to go with Wings Over Whales and felt that even if unsuccessful in sightings the experience was worth it. The company did very well. We arrived to fly on Monday, We got airborne for a few moments but the pilot being very skilled, with safety in mind decided it was unsafe with a low cloud base. However we did manage to sight many dolphins and the folk who were swimming with the dolphins.

They were kind enough to offer us a refund as we were not up long or the opportunity to try again the next day. This is the option we went for as we were fortunate and had time on our side.

The company had been in contact with other providers and knew of a sighting. they had even timed the dive of a whale and knew when to expect it to surface! That was going the extra mile in my book. Up we went and sure enough two whales were sighted. We stayed with them, circling, coming in as low as possible. The camera and video shots are unreal. We felt completely safe and felt the pilot knew what he was looking for and where to find it. They made it very clear they could not guarantee a sighting. If they could they would be geniuses. Whales are the most majestic of animals and their size, shape and length can be fully appreciated from the air. We got to see a dive and watched in awe this wild creature moving through the ocean.

Once the sighting was over the pilot took us over the peninsula, we saw the coastline clearly and he brought us in to a smooth landing.

They were all kind enough to pose for photos and gave us an informative leaflet about whales

Thank you "Wings Over Whales" for an experience I shall never forget. It has been a lifelong ambition to see whales.

Our deepest thanks
