“Amazing
experience!”

We did the 2 1/2 hour speedboat
whale watching trip. Amazing!
The friendly captain and owner
Stefan was able to find whales
very quickly. We spent a long
time right alongside several mas-
sive humpback whales. Also got
up close to Dolphins and puffin
birds. The naturalist onboard
was a wealth of information.
The speedboat trip is wonderful
because it travels at high speed
to the best areas. They provide
warm overalls and gloves. Maybe
bring a ski hat so your ears don’t
get cold.

Excellent staff, and a great expe-
rience. …
… Within 15 minutes, we had
found a curious humpback that
stayed around us for about 20
minutes. We also were checked
out by a pod of dolphins, and
later cruised alongside another
humpback that was heading
slowly out of the bay. At times,
we were only about 10 feet from
it as it swam all around the boat!
A very memorable experience,
and a very professional and kind
staff.

We took the evening sail (20:00),
and what a great way to end the
day it was! Our skipper new just
were to go, and really “hunted”
those whales (a mother and
calf blue whales and a couple
of humpbacks). We all had the
chance to see them from a really
close distance - you can judge
yourselves by looking at my
pictures.
“Whale watching -
Gentle Giant - highly
recommended”
Reviewed 20 August 2015
The whale watching tour was
fun. Gentle Giant staff were po-
lite and professional. We took the
earliest trip. It is less crowded but
your chances of finding whales
are slightly lower . We saw few
dolphins, few 10 ton whales and
briefly saw a humpback whale.
The tour is highly recommended.
Nevertheless - we saw more im-
pressive whales in Boston
