Whale Watch Tour
Imagine the thrill of paddling along the calm ocean waters, soaking up the warm sunshine, when all of a sudden a whale explodes from the water, breaching only a hundred yards away. You catch your breath in awe and before you know it, again but this time a little closer. This exhilarating experience is part of the thrill of being eye level with these gentle giants. As they are a curious bunch, especially the calves, they come closer to take a better look. Viewing whales from a kayak is a breathtaking experience. The ocean, the kayaks, the paddlers, the whale!
