Smile and count your lucky stars. If you are concerned that a whale is coming at your kayak and doesn't know that you are there, simply knock on the hull of the kayak and they will get the message. Our philosophy is that we do not approach within 100m of a whale, nor do we encircle whales should we see them. However, sometimes whales will come close to the kayaks and if they swim your way, enjoy the view. Back To Top Health:

We have the fastest whale watch vessels in New England. We offer the most viewing time because we get there and back the fastest.

The rocky outcrops at Point Lookout are ideal vantage points for land-based whale watching. The whales pass close to the island, so it is usually possible to see them without the aid of binoculars.

Only if we are very lucky and then only on 2 or 3 trips of the year. Each whale swims past the Sydney coast over a 6 hour period, so they may pass us in the nighttime when no one is watching.
