If you are pregnant, have recently visited hospital, or have a pre-existing medical condition, we would ask that you consult your GP prior to cruising.
All children on your booking must be looked after at all times.

A warm jacket as it can get quite cold out on the water especially in the winter months. Close-toed non-slip shoes are a great choice as well for on board safety.

Our Facilities
Onboard Toilet
Photographer onboard most cruises for those that would like to take some photos of these majestic creatures home with them
Sea Sickness
We apologize, but there are no refunds for sea sickness.
Some people never get sea sick (the lucky ones), however others need to be prepared! We advise you to take something if you are unsure – don’t let sea sickness spoil your day!
Visit the pharmacy prior to the day of your cruise for motion sickness tablets to ensure you can make the most of you cruise.
Cancellations
Though we would love to go out on the water every day sometime mother natures doesn't play along, our passengers safety and comfort is our main priority, If the trip is cancelled, you will be transferred to the next suitable day, if we cancel due to conditions and you are unable to ride another day we will refund you.
We endeavour to make final calls by around 4pm the day prior to departure and will confirm with you on your official departure time.
A cancellation by the customer made less than 24 hours prior to departure incurs a 100% cancellation fee (no refund). A “no show” on the day also attracts 100% cancellation fee.
How Close Do We Get?
We must stand off 100 meters from the adults, and 300 meters from the cows and their young. However, they can come right up to the boat if they want – and they often do!
They can often come so close that you can smell and hear them, or even get a little wet!
Whilst all efforts will be made to ensure that your whale experience is an enjoyable one it is important to remember that these whales are wild animals – they do not perform on cue!
All encounters are conducted in accordance with the Australian National Guidelines for Whale and Dolphin Watching (2005) as well as our own strict Code of Practice.
This tour/activity will have a maximum of 18 travelers
