About the Whales & Boat Trip

• August through October offers a higher likelihood of seeing Bryde’s whales frequently.
• The Western Gulf of Thailand Marine and Coastal Resources Research Center of Thailand states that July to November is the ideal season to watch Bryde’s whales.

• There are currently 61 whales living in the area.
• It takes around 30-40 minutes (15km) from the land to searching zone. depend on current etc. to reach where the whales live.
• After entering the zone, we are going to slow down, and start searching, the captain will be a person who search for the whale, they normally look at the birds to locate the whale location.
• The closest we can get to the whale is 30 meters.
• once we get close to the whale, we need to turn off the engine, and stay quite, as the whale are sensitive to the sound.
• We are going to spend between 3-5 hours on this trip, which is enough time to cover the whole area of the whale habitat. Then we return to the pier.
• The faster we find the whale, the faster we can return to the land,
• The maximum time we are spending on the boat is 5hr or until we cover the area
• There’s about 10% chance, that we won’t see anything.
