Prices and Booking
You have the choice of booking an offshore or an inshore cruise on either Orca 1 or the M.V. Kerry. Not sure which is right for you? Look at where we take you and what you can see. You may also want to compare our boats – whilst the Kerry offers greater passenger comfort, on Orca 1 you can be sure of an exhilarating ride.
