Early Season Small Group Whale Watching & Beach Safari - Half Day Tour (Morning)

Whales are not guaranteed, but the experience is.

Be among the first to spot the whales as they begin their annual migration.

Join our Early Season Whale Watching and Beach Safari and experience the ocean before the crowds arrive. This limited-time adventure offers a relaxed, small-group cruise along the coastline as we search for the first humpbacks of the season.

Within this tour, we make a stop on one of many pristine beaches and sandbanks of the Northern Great Sandy Straits to dip your toes in the ocean and enjoy a taste of island life.
