If you haven’t gone whale watching yet, you’re missing out on something extraordinary. Seeing these giant mammals dive into the deep blue sea and then shoot upward again can be magical.

So if you’re planning to go whale watching this season, here are a few dos and don’ts to keep in mind:

The Dos

1. Do Check Marine And Weather Forecast

While sailing across the sea and enjoying the waters might excite you, it can be dangerous if the waves are rough and the tides are high. You can even get seasick due to tidal waves or heavy winds. Make sure to check the sea level and tides before you set out on the adventure. It’s better to opt for whale watching when the sea is calm.

2. Go For Sailing Boats

Inflatables or small zodiacs may promise tremendous fun and a more exciting experience; nevertheless, smaller boats are far shakier. It’s best to choose a sailing boat as they are less shakier, so it’ll be easier for you to click pictures when whales are around.

The Don’ts

1. Don’t Forget Your Medication for Motion Sickness

Don’t forget to take motion sickness medication if you are prone to getting seasick. If you’re not feeling great and under the weather,  you won’t enjoy the adventure, and a few hour-long trips would feel like an eternity. It’s best t take the medication thirty to sixty minutes before getting on the boat and choose a non-drowsy one to avoid feeling sleepy during whale watching.

2. Don’t Forget The Camera

Whale watching is an experience worth capturing. You must never forget to bring your cameras to record the moment. Get an empty memory card and plenty of batteries to not miss out on anything.

3. Do Not Rush; Take It Easy

The busier the place, the less likely you are to spot a whale. Moving to a different location with fewer boats is better if you feel like the area is crowded with boats to avoid stressing the whales.
