A fantastic, informative Whale Watching Trip
A fantastic, informative Whale Watching trip. We were involved, from the beginning of this trip in the Whale, Dolphin, Porpoises spotting. We didn't have to travel out to sea for long before a humpback whale was spotted. Lots of informative information given about the Cetaceans. All at Elding are all about the environment these wonderful creatures live in. A member of staff took professional photo's of the whales, dolphins which we were able to look at via their website at no extra cost.Jane Otripadvisor

Today was a wonderful autumn day. In the morning, we spotted minke whales lunge feeding close by, followed by 3 breaching humpback whales, including Davy Jones II. The afternoon tour featured a shy humpback whale and a second, more playful one, with epic peduncle throws, alongside a sneaky minke whale. An amazing day at sea!
