Whale Watching Guidelines

Whale watching guidelines are designed to protect both whales and viewers. Keep a safe distance—at least 100 yards—to avoid disturbing the animals. Move slowly and quietly when approaching or observing whales to prevent causing stress. Avoid sudden movements or loud noises. Use binoculars or cameras with zoom to get a better view without getting too close. Follow regulations and instructions from guides or local authorities. Respect the whales’ space and behavior; if they change direction or dive, give them room. These practices help ensure a safe, enjoyable experience while safeguarding the whales’ well-being.
