FAQs

Our whale watching tours are a minimum 3 – 4 hours. A bespoke wildlife tour can be arranged for a private group pending availability.

Please ensure you are dressed appropriately for the weather whether sunny or cold. Make sure to wear a windproof/waterproof jacket, suitable outdoor footwear, appropriate hat, water and snacks as the trip is up to 4 hours long.

We keep up to date on weather conditions so last minute cancellations are unusual, but not unavoidable at times. If a trip is cancelled due to bad weather, we will do our very best to reschedule an alternative date with you or offer a full refund.

We recommend children to be at least 4 years for whale watching tours and fishing trips.

We do not take dogs/pets on board unless they are trained assistance dogs.

To ensure a comfortable and enjoyable trip, here are some practical tips to help prevent seasickness:

• Eat Lightly: Have a small, low-fat meal 1-2 hours before departure. Avoid heavy, greasy, or spicy foods, and don’t board on an empty stomach
• Stay Hydrated: Drink water, but avoid excessive alcohol or caffeine, which can worsen symptoms.
• Medication: Consider over-the-counter remedies like ‘Kwells’, ‘Stugeron’ or ‘Phenergan’ (follow package instructions) or consult a doctor for prescription options like scopolamine patches.

Take these at least 30-60 minutes before boarding.

Choose Your Spot Wisely

• Stay in the middle of the boat, where motion is less intense.
• Face forward and focus on the horizon to help your brain align with the boat’s movement.
• Get fresh air on deck, avoiding enclosed spaces or areas with strong fuel odours.

Minimise Motion:

• Avoid reading, scrolling on devices, or focusing on close-up objects, as this can trigger nausea.
• Stay seated and keep your head still when possible.
• Natural Remedies: Ginger (sweets, tea, or supplements) can help settle your stomach. Acupressure wristbands (like Sea-Bands) may also provide relief.

Breathe Deeply:

• Slow, steady breaths can calm your body and reduce nausea.
• Snack Smart: Nibble on plain crackers or sip clear fluids like water or ginger ale to keep your stomach settled.
• Stay Cool: Overheating can worsen symptoms, so dress in layers and seek shaded or breezy areas.

If You Feel Seasick:

• Focus on the horizon or a distant point to reorient yourself.
• Lie down if possible, ideally in a well-ventilated area.
• Inform a crew member—we’re here to assist.

Pro Tip: Relax and enjoy the journey! Anxiety can worsen seasickness, so take deep breaths and focus on the adventure ahead.
