Whale Watching with the Experts
Reaching an ancient underwater corridor known as the Humpback Highway in just 20-minutes, enjoy a breathtaking vantage point of 35,000 migrating whales. Marvel at their spectacular and acrobatic aerial displays. See mother whales tenderly care for calves. Feel dwarfed by the size of gentle giants as they curiously approach the vessel. Keep your camera at the ready because whales aren’t the only stars of the show – our cruises routinely encounter charismatic dolphins, enormous sea turtles and resident and migratory seabirds.
