You are guaranteed to see the whale of your tour or you are welcome to travel again free of charge. The Operator's guarantee is in place as they have a very accurate sighting record, however we are interacting with wild whales and should the unlikely event of a no sighting day occur you have peace of mind in knowing you will be able to join us again at no charge to sight the whale of your tour.

During your experiences it is important to respect the whales we are interacting with at all times to ensure their comfort and to observe natural behaviour. The vessel will not approach whales closer than 100 meters as stipulated in our whale interaction licensing. The whales are welcome to approach our vessel as closely as they wish and will only approach if they feel safe, which is achieved by keeping a respectful distance.
