company offering visitors an exciting up-close encounter with the
Giant Sperm Whale all
year round. A 95% success rate means a guaranteed 80% refund if
your tour does not see a whale. Whale Watch tours are a very
popular New Zealand attraction so early bookings
are recommended.
Designed for whale watching, the company operates a fleet of
modern catamarans equipped with engines that minimise underwater
noise and toilets that never pollute the sea. The main passenger
cabin is enclosed and large outside decks offer great viewing and
photo opportunities. Spacious air-conditioned interiors are fitted
with comfortable seating while large plasma screens display
award-winning marine wildlife animations.
Passenger numbers for each tour are kept well below vessel
carrying capacity to ensure your tour experience remains a personal
one.
