We will only enter the water with humpback whales after the biologist onboard has observed their surface activity and deemed it safe for both the guests and the whales. Allowing the whales to continue their natural behavior, mating rituals, and migrational movements is vital for a healthy marine environment. Government placed regulations are followed for all interactions. Whales activities (swimming and watching) are only permitted from August 1st to November 11th, before and after these dates, we can observe them from the boat in distance of 300 meters
