All dining, sightseeing, and rocket vessels are fitted with toilets
How close can we get to the whales?
How close can we get to the whales?
There are strict guidelines on how close vessels of all kinds, from kayaks to cruise boats, can approach whales. It also depends if there are calves in the pod and the number of vessels in the area. As a guideline, the approach distance can range from 100m to 300m. This however does not stop whales from taking matters into their own hands for a closer look at us! At all times, we operate with the safety and enjoyment of both our passengers and the whales.

What to bring?
This is an open water cruise and you will experience sea motion. We recommend you eat lightly before cruising and travel sickness tablets are generally most effective if taken prior to the cruise.
Please dress according to the weather - it will often feel colder at sea. And, don't forget to bring your camera as there will be plenty of photo ops on your cruise and at the zoo! Smoking is not permitted on board.
