Overview

Available languages

English

Enjoy this 2-hour guided adventure on a double-deck power catamaran to watch the whales in their natural habitat. Depending on the whales’ behavior during your whale watching trip, you may see the whales slapping the surface with pectoral fins (their very long side fins), flukes (the tail), the peduncle (the strong muscles attaching the tail to the rest of the body) and the breach, this is when the whale rises completely out of the water and crashes down again.

$50 for a two hour ride out into the ocean on a beautiful day was a great time! And to see whales for the first hour was amazing! So i definitely recommend this trip.
Whale watching success!

Wasted money because we barely saw any whale activities. It was such a boring trip. Also, I wish they would offer some free snacks, real juice and bottle water for the price we paid.
A great time was had by all.

We had a great time and saw several pods of breaching whales up close. The captain did a great job announcing and educating. You really can’t ask for more. The only negative for the 4 star review was the timing of the drink deliveries from the crew took a little bit away from seeing the best breach of the day and could have been paused for a few minutes while we waited to view the majestic site. Other than that we had a great time. Prepare for choppy waters and take your Dramamine for the second half back to the dock.
