More About this Experience

Introduction

What to expect?

From December to March, you may even spot Humpback whales, spinner dolphins, rough toothed dolphins, giant mantas, marine turtles, and with some luck, orcas or false orcas. The guides leading the tour are specialists in cetaceans, including biologists with Masters Degrees in Marine Ecology, science journalists, and professional wildlife photographers.
