What if we don’t see any whales?

Whale sightings are highly likely during the tour’s seasonal window (May–September), but nature can’t be guaranteed.

Plus, the wine, wildlife, and starlit beach finale ensure the day is unforgettable regardless.

How customizable is the tour? Can we skip or swap stops?

Totally flexible. Whether you want extra time at the vineyard, a different café for lunch, or more beach and less blowhole—we’ll design the perfect day to suit your interests, pace, and preferences. This is your private tour, your way.

We recommend comfortable walking shoes , casual attire for the vineyard and cruise, and a warm jacket for the evening —especially during star gazing by the beach. The coastal breeze
