You may see some of the humpback whales' popular surface behaviors, including the tail slap, the pec slap, the peduncle throw, the spy hop, and the much-anticipated full breach, where a whale launches its entire body out of the water. Our goal is to provide you with a memorable and educational experience as we marvel at these incredible creatures in their natural habitat.
One of the most thrilling aspects of this whale watch is the opportunity to visit the underwater viewing room. When the boat is stationary, you can descend to this unique space and peer through the glass panels at the bottom of the hull.
