Considerations

  • excluded Optional shuttle pass for guests arriving at the AJ Dock, $3 (USD) for an all-day pass to provide transportation between the AJ Dock to the meeting/ending point of the tour.
  • excluded All other cruise docks are under a 10 minute walk to your meeting point.
  • excluded The boat ride can be bumpy and unsuitable for guests with neck, back, or hip problems
  • excluded Guests must be able to get on and off the bus and navigate the steep incline between the bus and the whale watching boat. Folding, non-motorized wheelchairs are welcome - but we cannot accommodate any motorized wheelchairs/scooters or those that do not fold up flat. If you are using a manual folding wheelchair - you will be able to use a ramp to get from the bus drop-off point down to the boat. This is a steeper ramp so a member of your party will need to assist you in getting down/up the ramp. You will need to take a few steps to get onto the boat. The folding manual wheelchair will then be stored on the boat.
