Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the Marine Wildlife Excursion?

A: Yes, the minimum age for participants is usually around 5 years old. Kids under 12 may require adult supervision. It's a great family-friendly activity, but make sure the little ones are comfortable on the water. Can be a bit bumpy depending on the weather!

Q: What should we wear for the excursion? Is it cold on the water?

A: Definitely dress in layers! Mornings can be chilly out there, but you'll warm up once the sun is out. A light jacket and comfortable shoes are best. Don't forget your swimsuit if you want to jump in at any stops!

Just did the Marine Wildlife Excursion and WOW!

I just got back from the Marine Wildlife Excursion with Captain Zodiac and it was epic! We saw dolphins and even a few humpback whales! The crew was super knowledgeable and made the experience a ton of fun. The Zodiac boat is really something else—so fast and thrilling! I’m considering gifting this to my parents for their anniversary. Any tips for making it extra special?
