“Excellent Service”
Reviewed 9 August 2015
Our tour with Gentle Giants was
great. I am terrified of the sea
but I felt safe as the guide went
through all the safety tips before
we go on board the RIB boat.
They drove carefully and kept
their distance from the whale so
as not to disturb it. Such respect
shown for the whale. I admired
that. We got to see 2 whales in
action, it was an experience of a
life time, just incredible. After the
whale watching we went to the
Puffin birds at Puffin island and
had a drink. Cheers and Thank
you Gentle Giants, keep up the
great work.
“The need for
speed”
Reviewed 7 August 2015
After my lesson in Svalbard, i
went with the speed boat offer-
ing and it was the right choice.
Gentle Giants did it well, and
most importantly we saw whales,
the humpback variety and appar-
ently minke, but they were too
quick and on the wrong side for
me to catch. The speedboat repo-
sitions much quicker so when a
whale is spotted u get in the right
spots. Position in the speedboat
makes a big difference to what
you can see. Wish tour companies
would auction off the front rows!

“Humpbacks, and
Puffins, and Blues,
OH MY!”

Thanks, GG, for an amazing day!
My advice for anyone consider-
ing a whale watching tour would
be to take the RIB boat tour. Our
RIB boat was so much faster than
the wooden boats, so we were
able to spend more time out near
where the whales were feeding
and we got nearer to the whales
when they surfaced faster than
the wooden boats.
