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.

Excellent crew and very knowledgeable about the whales. We saw several mamas with her calf as well as a big group of males in battle. Time well spent on the water.
Perfect family tour

This was a wonderful experience! The boat ride was relaxing! Brandon and Myron were wonderful and attentive to drinks! The captain had great commentary about the whales but we just didn’t get to see a huge amount of whales. 2 hours was a perfect time for the trip! Morning or evening would probably be better. We went at 1:00.
Awesome trip!

Awesome time! We saw so many whales and they came really close up! Just be mindful that you're traveling with someone who has mobility issues, go early so you can drop them off at the boat entrance which is fairly far from the shop where you meet up. No one told us and my dad with a walker had to walk so far and it took him so long he was the last to enter the boat. Other than that, it was a great, comfortable trip!
Good time and a lot of whales!!

Awesome trip and saw a lot of whales! Boat captain was knowledgeable and shared detailed information on the whales and their migratory habits. Downside was they didn’t get as close to the whales as expected and didn’t stay with the whales long enough for everyone to get pictures.
