FAQs
Are whale sightings guaranteed?

Wildlife is natural, so sightings can’t be guaranteed. We schedule during strong seasons and use experienced trackers to maximise chances.

Is it safe for kids?

Yes, with standard safety procedures and life jackets. If travelling with young kids, we can recommend calmer days and shorter options.

What’s the best season?

Generally the peak window is around November to April, depending on sea conditions.

Can you add brunch or a beach stop?

Yes — we can arrange a premium beachfront brunch and add a coastal viewpoint or hidden beach stop after the cruise.

Tip: Wear neutral colours (cream/black/beige) for the best luxury photos in sunrise light.
