❓ Frequently Asked Questions
he season runs strictly from mid-January to late March. Early February is often considered the peak for sightings.
Wear light layers, including a windbreaker or light rain jacket, as it can be windy and wet on the water. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and your camera with a good zoom lens.
While the tour is boat-based and the water can sometimes be choppy, we use stable vessels. If you are prone to motion sickness, we recommend taking medication beforehand.
