What to expect
You'll embark mid-morning and head into deep water where cetaceans congregate year-round. The crew steers toward recent sighting locations while you settle in with a drink. Whale watches here yield regular encounters—sperm whales, pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins are common. When conditions allow, the ship anchors for a supervised swim. The voyage mixes genuine wildlife observation with onboard socialising; expect genuine interest from fellow passengers rather than a party atmosphere, though the sound system plays throughout. Return to harbour by mid-afternoon.
Good to know
Bring sun protection and a towel for swimming. Food isn't provided—pack snacks if needed. Inform crew of allergies beforehand. Motion can be moderate in Atlantic swells; consider medication if prone to seasickness. Infants travel free in prams; public transport serves the harbour.
