Whale Watching Checklist

In choosing a trip some tips and things to consider, based on questions we have been asked and feedback from passengers.

What are the important things to look for in a whale watching boat?

In order of importance:
1. Success and Experience, you want a boat that sees the whales, do they report their sightings? Do they see many(or any) whales on each trip? Do they offer a Guarantee? How long have they been whale watching?

2. Viewing space and decks where you can see all around the boat and especially ahead of the boat.

3. History. How long have the company been operating? What material do they provide for “first time” whale watchers.

Can some boats get closer to whales than others?
No, everyone, and that includes recreational boaters follow the same regulations, 100m from the whales is as close as the rules allow any boat to approach.

Is Morning or Afternoon better?
It really depends on the day, each day is different. Sometimes the wind is blowing in the morning but drops off in the afternoon and vise versa. The whales don't seem to be more or less active as the day progresses
