    FAQs

    Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed and vary by season. Spring may bring gray whales, humpbacks, orcas and dolphins; summer may bring humpbacks, blue whales and orcas; fall may bring humpbacks, blue whales and orcas; and winter may bring gray whales, orcas and occasional humpbacks.

    If you do not see a whale or dolphin during the cruise, you will receive a whale check for another trip, subject to availability.

    If you are prone to motion sickness, consider taking an over-the-counter remedy the night before and morning of your cruise. Stay outside for fresh air, look toward the horizon or a fixed point on land, and eat bland foods if needed. Relief Bands are available to rent aboard Sanctuary.

    If you want an insider treat book with Sanctuary. Absolutely marvelous experience with my friends this past week that we ended up booking twice. Joey was an exceptional captain with years of experience giving his expertise in extraordinary whale and dolphin sightings each day. Karen our inboard marine biologist was on hand to support everyone onboard. We saw whales breaching, feeding on anchovies, hundreds and hundreds of dolphins. At least twenty flukes. What an incredible, beautiful experience. Professional, safe with excellent hospitality. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you for memories from the Vegas crew. ❤️
