Overview

Prepare for an unforgettable encounter with the giants of the sea. Our 3.5-hour premium whale watching expedition takes you beyond the shoreline and into the heart of the ocean’s most spectacular playground. Whether you’re a seasoned nature lover or a first-time explorer, this journey offers the perfect balance of excitement and coastal relaxation. This trip is highly recommended during Blue Whale season (June – September). Since these 100-foot giants migrate further offshore, we recommend these trips during blue whale season as the extended time they provide give us a wider window to secure a successful sighting. Witnessing the largest animal to ever live is a true once-in-a-lifetime moment—maximize your
chances by booking during their peak summer residency.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Premier Whale and Dolphin Watching?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
