Trip Details

Imagine being picked up by a boat directly from your hotel jetty. A trip where you can have a close encounter with a whale 10 minutes after leaving the dock. A location that puts you in warm, clear water, takes one-third of the time to get to compared to other humpback whale destinations and costs half the price. A trip where the operator never cuts a whale encounter short.

A trip where you are on a boat with a small group of people (6 or 8) compared to 20 people on the “day boats”.

This is the amazing trip that Scott Gietler experienced, and has put together for you to enjoy – a trip of a lifetime. Scott had whale encounters every day he was on the water. Snorkel only, no dive certification required!
