We booked the last tour of the whale migration season where they would give a refund if you don’t see any whales or dolphins. Rose early and parked at a pier nearby. The marine club has a toilet and some souvenirs for sale. A minibus took us to the pier where we boarded a boat. Best to go up deck. After a 40-45min ride, around off shore near Chatan, we spotted a mom and calf humpback breaching and blowing and doing what whales do. We were around 500m away from the whales. My teen didn’t find the experience as exciting as I did. Once the whale dived down it takes 5-10min before it resurfaces. Worth getting a phone camera with a zoom.
