3. In calm water without waves, whales behave calmly. Yes, and to see them in such conditions is easier. Examine the weather forecast in advance and plan your way out into the ocean on a sunny day.
4. Going to the whales alone is an idea so-so. Where better to agree with a seasoned local who is familiar with the habits of animals and possesses the necessary equipment.
