What Else You Need to Know
A few more important notes, given the unpredictable nature of nature:
- Be prepared for the possibility of seasickness. (Fairly uncommon ~12% of people)
- Over the counter medications can help prevent seasickness, consider something like Dramamine: Original Formula (we’ve found Non-Drowsy versions to be less effective).
- Be prepared for the possibility of no whale sightings. (Extremely uncommon <1% of trips)
- Whale feeding locations can change on a yearly, and sometimes, monthly basis.
- For these reasons, we don’t have a whale sightings guarantee on these trips.
- Be prepared for the possibility of hazardous weather conditions cancelling our trip. (~15% of trips)
- Plan alternative activities in the area in case of cancellation.
- Fortunately, we offer refunds in this situation, unlike many other operators.
- We will give advance notice if your trip will be cancelled, via email and text.
