Our approach to marine mammal observation on our tours emphasizes a relaxed and low-impact methodology, especially within the safeguarded zones of the marine park. We adhere to a 'paddles up' protocol, which allows interactions to occur at the discretion of the marine animals, ensuring both their safety and the quality of the experience. This considerate method permits us to witness these extraordinary creatures in their natural habitats without interfering with their routine activities, reflecting our commitment to conservation and ethical wildlife tourism

At Epic Ocean Adventures, our private whale watching tours provide frequent
encounters with these magnificent marine creatures, although sightings
are not guaranteed. The unpredictable nature of wildlife, especially
whales, means each tour is a unique experience shaped by natural
elements beyond our control. We encourage guests to come with an open
mind, ready to explore the vast beauty of the National Park. In addition
to the potential of spotting humpback whales, our tours offer
opportunities to observe a diverse array of wildlife, including
dolphins, turtles, rays, and variety of migrating and local seabirds, enhancing the richness of your
adventure.
