Whale Watching in the Keramashoto Islands
Whale Watching in the Keramashoto Islands
Step aboard a carefully coordinated ocean safari
Join an exciting tour that takes place at one of the Northern Hemisphere’s few breeding grounds for humpback whales. You will be able to get a close look at whales raising their young from the boat. Dedicated whale spotters scan the ocean from an observatory and relay their reports to the captain, who will then navigate the boat to where they were seen. This strategy maximizes your chances of seeing as many whales as possible.
