Choose your whale watching adventure in a 45 ft ocean cruiser, which offers both inside and outside seating, OR in an exhilarating ridged-hulled zodiac. Either boat offers an exceptional whale watching experience.

Each tour is 3 hours long and has a certified naturalist or biologist on board who provide educational commentary on all members of our unique marine community. Each boat is outfitted with a hydrophone to hear the whales vocalize.
