Local expert tips

• While there is a restroom on board, the toilet is intended exclusively for urination. There are restrooms available at the harbor before and after your tour.
• Do not forget to bring drinks and snacks with you! If you would like to keep your drink chilled, be sure to bring a small cooler bag with ice or chill packs. Large coolers are not allowed due to space restrictions.
• Humpback whales can often be seen during the winter whale season between November and March, and while not guaranteed, any sightings are a wonderful added bonus to your sunset experience.
• Recommend attire: If you are planning on getting in the water, wear your swimsuit before boarding the boat, and bring a towel and a light jacket or coverup to wear during the return boat ride.

How to get there?

Its open layout ensures abundant fresh air and unparalleled visibility from any seat. Whether seated on center benches or tube seating, proximity to the water and the thrill of the ride are guaranteed, and the vessel's enclosed railing provides a sense of safety and reassurance.
