What to expect
You'll board a purpose-built whale-watching vessel and spend roughly two and a half hours scanning the Indian Ocean. The crew are experienced at reading water conditions and behaviour patterns, so your odds of spotting cetaceans are solid during peak migration months. The boat moves slowly to avoid disturbing wildlife, giving you proper time to observe and photograph. If seas are rough or visibility poor, the crew won't hesitate to postpone—your safety and the whales' wellbeing come first. Bring layers and sunscreen; ocean conditions change quickly.
