Are whale sightings guaranteed?
You are guaranteed to see a whale on your tour or you are welcome to travel again free of charge. Our guarantee is in place as we have a very accurate sighting record, however we are interacting with wild whales and should the unlikely event of a no sighting day occur you have peace of mind in knowing you will be able to join us again at no charge.
How close can we get to the whales?
During our experiences it is important to respect the whales we are interacting with at all times to ensure their comfort and to observe natural behaviour. Our vessel will not approach whales closer than 100 meters as stipulated in our whale interaction licensing. The whales are welcome to approach our vessel as closely as they wish and will only approach if they feel safe, which is achieved by keeping a respectful distance.
Are there toilet facilities onboard?
Yes, there are two restrooms located onboard that are large and easy to use.
Are tours safe for pregnant women?
Yes, tours are perfectly safe for pregnant women but we do recommend consulting with your doctor should you suffer from morning sickness or are susceptible to motion sickness.
What should I wear?
We recommend a warm jacket on all of our experiences as the sea breeze can be cool. A rain jacket or poncho should rain be forecast and flat shoes are important when onboard vessels for your safety and ease of moving around the vessel.
What should I bring?
A jacket is recommended even on warm days as the sea breeze can be cool, sunglasses, hat, camera and motion sickness medication if required.
What if it rains?
Our vessel is the largest and most luxurious whale watch vessel in Western Australia and has many covered areas so rain does not affect your tour. We do recommend bringing a rain jacket or poncho should showers be forecast so you can still enjoy the outside areas without getting wet.
