PLAN THE VISIT
A reviewed foundation built from official sources. Traveler edits are checked before publication.
Listed Tuesday–Sunday in April–October; November operation is weekends only and must be rechecked.
No regular June–August day coastal sailing is listed; November is weekends only.
Dated supplemental sailings and operator changes can override the reference schedule.
A completed whale-search sailing can return without a sighting; wildlife behaviour is not a refund promise unless the booking explicitly says so.
Products, ages, groups and dated promotions differ, so an old general fare should not be reused.
Check the operator's same-day notice and provide a flexible land-based fallback.
It does not prove today's departure, sea state, onboard service, wildlife sighting or remaining tickets.

DAY-OF PLAN
The current calendar lists whale-search departures at 2:00 PM in April–May and September–October, with 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM departures in June–August. Coastal products use different dates and times.
The current tourism record lists a Saturday 6:00–9:00 PM night coastal cruise. It is not a substitute departure for every cancelled daytime sailing.
Sea weather, safety inspection, minimum operation decisions or schedule changes can cancel a sailing. Use the selected booking for the current fare, boarding cutoff and identification rules.
