While we can’t guarantee whale sightings, as these are wild animals in their natural habitat, this unpredictability is what makes the experience so special. We believe in ethical wildlife encounters, meaning we don’t control or force interactions. Instead, we respect the whales’ natural behavior, and when they choose to show themselves, it’s a truly magical and authentic moment.
