      Whale and Dolphin Sightings Policy!

      At Friends of Moby Dick, we appreciate the inherent unpredictability of natural wildlife encounters. Although our expeditions have had over 98% success with whales and dolphins, their appearance cannot be assured. In case of no sighting tours, we do not offer a refund.  Nevertheless, we extend an offer to our guests to partake in an alternative departure, pending space availability. We are dedicated to ensuring a memorable experience for all our patrons, regardless of the whims of nature.

      What to bring
        • Take your camera or phone- you will want to capture these views!
        • Warm clothes- we offer overalls free of charge but it’s good to have layers, hats, gloves, and good shoes. It’s always colder out there than how you feel on land.
        • Sunglasses / Ski goggles- good UV protection is a great idea!
        • Optional - strap to hold your camera or phone- a waterproof case may not be necessary, but it's a good idea to secure your phone or a camera with a strap. The boat can get rocky and you may want to be quick to have your hands free and not drop your belongings - our overalls have great pockets too!
