Great conditions for all cruises this weekend ☀️🐋
What is the best time for whale watching? The short answer is - there is no better time. Whales are active 24hrs of the day so we can never predict the behaviours they will be displaying for us (we wish we spoke whale!). Every day and cruise is different to the next - which is the beauty of witnessing these majestic giants in their natural wild habitat. The time of your cruise does fall more to personal preference. However, generally the early morning cruises this time of year can experience the calmer ocean and weather conditions. Although, we can often witness increased breaching action in windy conditions - so we advise to pick the best time suited to you and we will advise if there are any unsuitable conditions expected!
A few spaces available for tomorrow’s 7:30am & 12:30pm 🐋

Breaches, peduncle throws, and constant surface action on today’s cruise these humpbacks were putting on a show. Possibly social behavior, maybe just showing off. Either way, it was unreal to witness. 🌊🛥️ #WhaleWatching #HumpbackWhales #MarineLife #OceanMoments
