What to Bring and Tips for the Tour

To make the most of your Dolphin and Whale Watching Catamaran Cruise, here are some handy tips and recommendations:

• Bring Sun Protection: Protect yourself from the sun’s rays by wearing sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. The open sea can be deceptive, and the sun can be quite strong, even on cooler days.
• Dress Comfortably: Opt for comfortable clothing suitable for the weather conditions. Layers are advisable, as the breeze or spray from the ocean can make it feel cooler aboard the catamaran.
• Don’t Forget Your Camera: Capture the magical moments of your wildlife encounters and the stunning scenery all around you. A waterproof camera or a protective casing for your electronic devices is recommended.
• Seasickness Prevention: If you are prone to motion sickness, consider taking precautions before the cruise. Over-the-counter medications or natural remedies like ginger or wristbands have been helpful to many guests.
• Observe Wildlife Respectfully: While it’s exciting to see dolphins and whales up close, it’s important to respect their space and follow guidelines provided by the crew. Do not attempt to touch or feed the animals, as this disrupts their natural behavior.
• Arrive Early: To ensure a smooth departure, arrive at the meeting point a little ahead of time. This will give you ample opportunity to familiarize yourself with the crew, fellow passengers, and the tour details.
