Before Your Cruise
Our whale watching cruise travels offshore and is subject to suitable weather and sea conditions and minimum passenger numbers.
If you or anyone in your party is prone to motion sickness, or concerned they may experience seasickness, we recommend speaking with your pharmacist about preventative medication before your cruise.
We recommend dressing for the weather and bringing a warm layer, as conditions offshore can be cooler than on land. Sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses are also recommended.
