Full Description
? Your journey begins at the historic harbor where you'll board a specially equipped whale-watching vessel.

While the peak season runs from April to October, the bay is a year-round sanctuary for wildlife.

If the whales are feeling shy, the onboard team utilizes their expertise to track movement, ensuring the best possible chances for a sighting. In the rare event that no whales are spotted, you’ll receive a complimentary ticket to try the adventure again.

Duration ⏱️ Approximately 3 to 3.5 hours.
