Exciting experience with the flight although we didn’t manage to have a glimpse of the sperm whale. Was able to see a few humpbacks but it’s quite far to sight the details from above. The surrounding sceneries were gorgeous. Overall would recommend if you would like to experience the fly instead of a boat ride, but the boat ride will give you a better view of whales.
