Dear Lieve
It's
peak whale watching season in St Lucia at the moment! Our sightings is
awesome and no day goes past without us having excellent video footage.
Whatever you do from the moment you meet at the office, getting to the
beach, onto the
boat, the 2 hours on the boat…- you are on camera - we make a
personalized video and you can purchase this dvd from the WHALE OFFICE
about an hour after your return from the ocean - we also add extra good
footage from other trips, as
well as Hippo & Croc footage as most people also do the Hippo Croc
Boat Cruise with us .
The
tours are very popular, so best to book and pay ahead of time, we can
only take 10passengers on each tour and it is on a
first-come-first-serve basis.
We
operate 7days a week as long as we have good weather and ocean
conditions - we've been blessed this month with only about 4days that
we had to cancel tours due to bad weather.
The
2008 whale watching rate is R700-00p.p….you're on the ocean for 2
hours, but the entire trip is 3 hours long, as there is a 30minute
journey by 4 x 4 truck along the beach to get to-and-from the launch
site before and after the whale
watching - from end of May till about the 10th of December
you will definitely see HUMPBACK whales - if you have NOT seen a whale
after 2 hours on the ocean, you get a 40% refund, as the tour then
automatically becomes the 2hour Ocean
Adventure for Dolphins and Marine Mammals.
It's
best to dress warm around the top chest part of your body, have pants
that you can roll up, and shoes that you don't mind getting wet - bring
along a towel, bottle of water, small fruit juice, packet of sweet
biscuits, and tissues.
We supply you with additional raincoats and off course the compulsory life jackets.
Any
electronic equipment best to leave at home, no jewelry, don't bother to
put make-up or even comb your hair, as it's going to be an adventurous
2hours on the ocean with possible sea spray splashes. The company is
fully insured and has all
the necessary permits /licenses /concessions from the various
authorities, however you will be asked to sign an indemnity as it
remains your own risk when you go on an ocean adventure.
If
you do secure your seat via e-mail, we will ask you for your credit
card details - we only accept Visa and Master Cards - we will need your
card number, expiry date and the last 3 digits on the back of the card
- you can either send those
details via 2 or 3 different e-mails or fax to our office, it is only
me and Joey working in the office, so one of us will receive your
details. Please note that no last minute cancellations will be accepted
whatsoever at all, so if you have to cancel
please do so at least 3 days before your trip, IN the event of you
confirming your seat, and us keeping your seat until the hour of
departure and you don't pitch, you will be held liable to pay the full
amount and we will debit your card, so please
make 100% sure to confirm and arrive. -
The first trip for the day departs at 06h30, and then thereafter there will be a trip departing every 2nd
hour, AS LONG AS we have enough demand - we fill one boat at a time, as
with the enormous fuel increases we can't do half-full trips, so as
soon as the first trip is full, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th
will be filled. As long as the weather and ocean conditions remains
beautiful for the day we will keep on operating as the whales don't
disappear no-where throughout the day, you will see whales on
each and every trip.
Please
do yourself the favor and read our web page thoroughly. Please do keep
in touch if you have any more questions, we'll gladly assist.
