Read more about this tour
The Whale Watch & Reef Snorkel combines snorkeling and whale watching on a Zodiac RIB navy seal speed boat that carries 6 to 14 passengers. The tour runs 2 to 4 hours, and the snorkel spot and the length change with where the whales are and the weather.
- Larger boats are more stable and have facilities on board, such as toilets. Larger boats are also higher above the ocean surface, giving you better far-away views.
- Smaller boats are faster, so they can reach a whale before it dives again. Small boats are also closer (lower) to the water which gives you a better up-close view.
Book this tour for the faster, smaller boat and the up-close views from low on the water. If you want a steadier boat with toilets on board, have a look at this whale watching cruise by Body Glove.
