    FAQs

    Bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, a warm long-sleeve jacket or sweatshirt, and motion sickness medicine if needed.

    This whale watch operates on the open ocean, where weather can change without notice and water conditions are not always smooth.

    If you use motion sickness medicine, take it in the morning and at least 1 hour before the tour.
