This has been the trip of a lifetime. Being with the whales in the water is not just a dream come true, it has been a life altering experience, one I’m still reflecting on. The arrangements made and the care taken to allow us to make the most of this experience and focus all our energy only on the whales- shows just how much thought Nadia and her team have put into making these experiences possible for her guests. Everything has been taken care of for you down to the smallest details. Mystic sands was a little piece of paradise and the people there look after you like family. Room is comfortable after a long day out on the water and has everything you need. Peta and her staff are amazing and always check in with you if you need anything. We’ve had some wonderful conversations and I wouldn’t hesitate to come back and stay here again. I was on a boat called Echo and it is in excellent condition; felt very safe on it in all kinds of weather and jumping off it and getting back on was easy. My skipper and guide- the brothers Ali and Villi are whale whisperers and you can just see how much they love and care for these animals. Their whole approach to making the encounters enjoyable for guests while keeping the whales in high regard (as should always be the case) left me in awe. They have years of experience and I feel like them and the whales are one family. Oh and the lunches- man they were so good thank you so much Julie!! I’m still thinking of your lemon slice and brownies! Thank you Nadia for looking after us, for making dreams come true for me and for so many others out there and for allowing us to experience magic. See you in 2025 🤞🏼🩵🩵🩵🐋🐋
