To make the most of your experience, bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, and sunglasses. Arrive at least 15 minutes before departure for check-in. No refunds are provided if no whales are spotted, as wildlife observation depends on unpredictable natural factors. Tour duration: Between 3 to 4 hours, depending on sea conditions. Since this tour may take the boat farther from the coast in search of whales, passengers prone to seasickness are advised to take precautions before boarding.
