“Amazing trip. Skipper Bennie, took us out although we were the only ones that had booked that particular early morning slot. Real character, knows his stuff, great all round guy As it was getting towards the tail end of the migration season, we weren't overly optimistic. OMG, how wrong were we. We didn't see one whale but 7! Three in particular we stuck with and they rewarded us with several full breaches and numerous tail slaps, partial breaches. A good hour of memories which I'll take with me to the grave. Thanks Bennie. Amazing time 👏”
