Special whale watching only for ON SHORE going with a large cruiser! Let's meet the humpback whale with a large cruiser that has a sense of stability and little shaking.
Humpback whales swim on the surface of the water for about 5 minutes on a single ascent. That is your chance to observe! Once you dive, you will be in the water for about 20 minutes and will resurface.
First, look for a blow that can be confirmed even from a distance!
Guided by a Yamaha PC-43 43ft cruiser. It is a large cruiser with little shaking, so it is safe for those who are worried about seasickness. There is a cabin (inside the ship) that can accommodate about 10 people, and it is a nice point to protect your body from rain, strong winds, and cold! There is also a toilet / shower room!
