Our tours are done on a purpose built 46' Power Catamaran, powered by twin Yamaha f250hp outboard motors, configured with lots of seating, both sun and shaded areas, an elevated flybridge for better spotting whales from a distance, marine toilet and PA Microphone system for crystal clear narration of the tour by our on board marine biologist. We have a hydrophone on board which we will drop into the water and see if the whales will give us a song. Board the boat at the beach and head out to an area that we have had many sightings in search of some whale activity. Once whales are located we head out to where they are and observe them from a distance being careful not to startle them or disrupt them. Sometimes they will approach the boat and hang around for a while, in these instances one of our guides will get in the water and allow you to accompany him for a closer look and hopefully some photos and videos to help document our visiting whales.
