Fabulous experience
Zoe_C, October 2026
Great boat trip, lovely crew and captain , full of great knowledge and information regarding the area and the whales. We found 3 whales and stayed with them for an hour, which was an amazing experience. It was also very respectful to the whales as we didn’t get too close so didn’t bother them or chase them, which was really important to me. It was a wonderful trip.

Willem_v, October 2026
The whole experience was great, although we found at times it was not easy to take videos or photos not being able to get access to the sides.
Response from the operator · KokomoCruises We’re so pleased you had a great experience, sorry you found it difficult to get photos and videos.
