We really enjoyed our trip despite the rough seas and sickness. The crew were super friendly and certainly seemed to respect the whales and the international laws around approach. We were the first boat out and the last boat to leave so managed to see more of the whale we tracked than if we had just returned home.

I would really recommend to do the Whale watching with these amazing guys. We saw lot of whales and dolphins. They give you a nice breakfast and explain and make sure you all understand everything they explain and see the animals.
I was sea sick and they took really good care of me.

The service that they provide is absolutely on the top level - the knowledge, the care about the whales, not money, is visible.

Fantastic Wale tour company, very informative, felt very safe onboard the boat, and the welfare of the animals was priority which was amazing as many wale tours can chase/stress the animals out just for tourists. Raja and the team were brilliant!

We had an amazing whale watching tour with these guys. We reserved through WhatsApp and communication was very smooth. Our first tour was canceled due to bad weather, so we went they day after. They arrang pick up from your hotel and offer anti Seasickness pills. As soon as you arrive on the boat they serve you breakfast, coffee, tea and delicious cookies. During our trip staff gave a lot of information about the whales and we finally saw 2 whales. What I really liked about this company is that they stay around the whales for a maximum of 30 minutes and on an appropiate distance to minimize stress for these animals. As the sea was really rough that day half of the people on the boat were seasick. The staff of Raja and the whales looked after every single person and took care of them. On our way back to the shore we were offered more food and drinks. As it was quite hard to take photos during the tour with our own camera because of the sea, we were glad that they send you the photos through e-mail afterwards.
