Board a whale and dolphin watch catamaran. You'll first hear a boat safety briefing, then some background information on the tour, history, what to look for, whale and dolphin species and their behavior. You will be viewing these animals live in their natural habitat.
The boat takes you between two and eight miles offshore along the west coast, searching for cetaceans. Each time the boat stops, hydrophones are put into the water to listen for the clicking of sperm whales, the pinging of pilot whales, the whistling of dolphins and the singing of humpback whales. Most commonly seen animals are sperm, pilot, and false killer whales, and spotted, spinner, and bottlenose dolphins.
Juice and rum punch are served on the way back to the port.
Notes:
The minimum distance for approaching the marine mammals is 160 feet. There is no in-water activity. This is a calving area, and the welfare of the animals is of primary concern. This tour enjoys a 90% success rate for sighting cetaceans, but wildlife sightings are not guaranteed.
