Safety decisions come first

A sunny sky does not always mean safe offshore conditions. Wind, swell, visibility, vessel limits and port guidance may affect whether a captain can operate. Follow the operator’s instructions rather than pressuring the crew to depart.

Read the policy before payment

Check whether the policy distinguishes operator cancellation from a guest cancellation. Ask about refunds, date changes, credits, deadlines and any non-refundable fees. Make sure the terms apply to the exact tour you are booking.

Keep communication open

Confirm which phone number or messaging channel the operator will use for updates. Ask when the final departure decision is normally communicated and whether you should wait at the hotel or travel to the marina.

Plan a flexible day

Avoid scheduling an important timed activity immediately after the whale-watching trip. Leave room for check-in, return time changes and possible weather-related adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the captain cancel after we arrive?

Operational decisions can change as conditions are assessed. Ask how the operator handles this situation.

Is a weather cancellation the same as a no-sighting trip?

No. A weather cancellation means the trip did not operate; a no-sighting trip may have operated without encountering whales.

Will the company refund my booking?

The answer depends on the written policy. Confirm the exact terms in advance.
