Body Glove Whale Watching FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if no whales are seen during the Body Glove cruise?

Whale sightings are guaranteed during the seasonal cruise. If no whales are spotted, guests may return for another eligible whale-watching trip free of charge under Body Glove's return-trip policy.

Can guests hear humpback whales during the tour?

Yes, when whale activity and conditions allow. The crew may use an underwater hydrophone so guests can listen to humpback whale songs while a marine naturalist explains whale behavior, migration and habitat.

What other marine life might be seen besides humpback whales?

Possible sightings include spinner dolphins, pilot whales, sperm whales, manta rays and sea turtles. All wildlife is observed in its natural environment, so sightings beyond the seasonal humpback whales vary from trip to trip.
