Be surprised - book this trip. Most amazing trip. If you have ever wanted to swim with whales this is the easiest, safest and most exhilarating way to do it. Great boat and lovely crew and best captain. You won’t go hungry and you won’t be disappointed, you may see soooo many minkes you are too tired to go back in the water. But just one more time 🤣🤣 And Vanessa - a very knowledgeable and approachable guide, super generous with her underwater photo tips and tricks and making everyone feel like part of an amazing adventure.
10 Stars! This was trip number 5 on Argo and I loved everything about it. The boat is very comfortable and homey, and I love the small group size. The crew is super professional and knowledgeable, attentive and helpful. And don't get me started about the food, it is always so delicious! I also love the fact that the trips have been dedicated to swimming with dwarf minkes which are fascinating little whales. And in the rare occasions when whales didn't want to interact, Argo took us to stunning reef locations. I cannot wait for next year trip. Thank you Argo!
