I made this chart because so many people tell me that what is included and not included
in the price of many tours is confusing. I agree with them. I try to tell you exactly what
you are paying for. That isn’t the case with some operators. You should of course
check all facts for yourself. This chart was compiled off of internet web sites and quite
likely the prices listed have increased. We do not warranty the quality of our
information, but believe we have copied the information accurately. Some tour operators do
not state clearly how many whale watches they give. We made our best effort to determine
the true number. If anyone finds an error, we will of course promptly make any
corrections.
Whale watching tour operators please let me know if I have made any
mistakes with the above information. I run my website on the basis of scrupulous honesty.
Nothing less is acceptable. It is only fair to our clients, who will be spending several
thousand dollars on an adventure of a lifetime, that they know precisely what they are
paying for. I run my operation out of a love for the whales and a desire to preserve the
species and their environment by a program of education. That is why I do what I do. I
hope you share in those feelings.
