Go out on a private boat for a half day whale watching trip to catch a glimpse of the blue whale, turtles, whale sharks and dolphins at play. Bookings are taken every day during whale season, from November to April each year. Depending on your group size, you will either get the 4-person boat or the 10-person boat. Please note that whale watching sessions can last from 2.5-4 hours (depending on weather and wildlife sighting conditions), and as with any safari, wildlife sightings are not guaranteed!
