Horseback riding was very well done and an enjoyable experience. Guide even took me on a solo ride in order to ride faster than the group. Unfortunately, we saw NO whales on the whale watching trip.

We loved both of the tours we did with this company. We booked in person and the service was friendly and helpful. We did our Northern Lights tour that evening and our Whale Watching tour the following day. We took both trips on the ‘Andrea’. We found the boat to be comfortable and well maintained. Plenty of room for everyone although if you want a seat on deck we’d recommend being early. We’d also thoroughly recommend borrowing the weatherproof overalls available on board. Toastie warm throughout both trips. The staff on board ship were great and both if our guides, Massi and Patrick were engaging and knowledgeable. Patrick channelling Dory to try and call whales was joyous. When we’re next back, we’ll be booking with this company again.

Easy to find and friendly staff on the boat, including drink & food to buy. We had waffles. We saw dolphins and minky whale. Dolphins were the best as they were right with the boat. Stay down the bow area for the best viewing.

We did the 2 hour RIB boat whale watching tour after deciding that it would be more fun to be closer to the water versus in the larger boat for the whale watching. I think this was true, but do be prepared for the wind and bumps on the speedy boat, especially if you're sitting in the front! Our tour guide, Patrick, was stellar. He was very funny and knew a whole lot about whales and dolphins. He expertly identified what we were seeing (in our case - dolphins and minke whales) and then proceeded to share about a million of the most interesting facts that I have ever heard about the creatures we saw. I really recommend this tour!

No whales, only a few dolphin fins. I understand you can’t foresee if you will see whales, but for the money, we should see something more then fins. Felt like a tourist trap.

I took the classic whale watching excursion on the andrea ship and had Ivan as my guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and a very great guide that made the excursion AWESOME! We weren’t lucky with the whales, we saw a couple, but the trip was well worth it. I would recommend, I originally signed up for a combo tour, part of which got canceled and I was refunded accordingly.

Such a fun experience! The guides are very friendly and thorough. The trip is long enough to catch plenty of fish, I caught two! The meal is prepared quickly and is very delicious! Highly reccomend!

Absolutely disappointed. After 36 hours of travel, paid a large amount of money for a driver from Amsterdam to Rotterdam, with a stop during for 2 hours. Driver arrived 30 minutes late for pick up. Dismal rainy day, so asked driver to take us to a restaurant for breakfast rather than the outdoor activity planned. At drop off, made plan for us to resume our journey in 1 hour. 30 minutes after agreed meeting time, no driver still. Contacted driver and was advised that he was in The Haag, and would pick us up in 20 min. Another 30 minutes later, no driver, but he did send us a live map and a freaky photo of himself and our luggage, now apparently stuffed in front passenger seat of the vehicle. Watched him drive via the live map link to the port, clearly dropping others off. By now, i had contacted the main office, and he finally turned around to collect us. We were 30 minutes later for out scheduled check in time at the port, anxiety through the roof and very disappointed!!!

The staff was amazing. Very helpful. The bus driver warned that it was rough at sea that day. We both took Dramamine and both got extremely sea sick. They also have Dramamine at the reception which I thought was very nice. It was our first time fishing and we were both able to catch something.

No whales seen so what is to review. Only just wasted 95euros for a boat trip that for 10 euros would have enjoyed in Greece more

First off, I want to make clear that the boat, the crew, and the guide - Rebecka - was excellent. Rebecka was very knowledgable and passionate about the whales and marine life in the bay, and the captain made sure we got to see a few fin whales as well as some puffin that were hunting in the area which was amazing. We were, however, not particularly pleased with the transfer van that took us to and from the harbor, which was also arranged by Special Tours. The wait and the ride from bus stop 13 to the harbor took a lot longer than it would have taken us to walk. On the way back from the harbor, the driver seemed to forget that we were even on there - he told us and another couple that he'd drop us off first before taking off, but then he went to the cruise ship before picking up some people from another hotel and proceeded to bring them all the way back to the harbor. We asked if he had forgotten that he was supposed drop us off at our stop, and his explanation was that the people he'd dropped off were running late for their tour, so he had to bring them to the harbor first. We're pretty sure he forgot about us though, since he didn't seem too focused on his job (he was on the phone for a large part of the ride). If we'd known the van would take us on a ride all over and back to the harbor before dropping us off at stop 13, we'd definitely have walked instead. So - if you want a great guide and whale tour, you should go for this one! But maybe consider walking to the harbor instead of taking Special Tour's transfer, since it wasn't very reliable or good.

Both excursions were very disappointing. I saw only the fin of a dolphin; my husband saw nothing on the whale watch. A few people saw one or more minkes quite far away. My husband and I saw one supposed puffin flying -- hard to tell -- on the puffin watch. The boat was quite small, crammed full of people, some having to sit inside where it would probably be even harder to see any puffins if there had been any. The boat does not get close enough to the island. We were there Aug. 14, and were told the puffins had been leaving. Whales, too? No one said, or we didn't hear. The tour operators really should stop taking people out when the puffins and whales become so scarce. That would be the ethical thing to do. This was quite a waste of time and money.

Tour was alright but I think the guide should of not been on his cell phone while we were looking for whales. Also the captain should of tried to have the boat facing the whales where both sides could see. Instead he had the boat facing frontward and the back people could not see. Probably would not utilize this company again.

Great tour! It’s hit or miss seeing wildlife. We were lucky and saw lots of dolphins, puffins, and few mini whales. The RIB seats are not comfortable, especially for shorter people. If you sit in the front, you will experience the most jostling and get wet from the rain. I was soaked even though I wore the suit and used the rain hood.

Saw many dolphins and Minke whales (they're quite small so you only see them briefly break the surface.) Puffin cruise (1 hour total) to a small island was great--saw many adults and pufflings. Guide provided lots of interesting info.
