Searching for whales
As for any encounters between humans, meeting with a whale rests for the most part, on your luck. You might spot one just outside the port or spend more than an hour looking for them. While our seasoned captains are searching for the cetaceans, let our guides give you interesting facts on whales and their behaviors, as well as tips on how to observe them responsibly.

Observing whales
In order to behave responsibly, we limit our observation to an hour and avoid getting too close. If we spot a whale rather soon, we will move on and search for another one to admire.
