About Whale Watching in Pattaya
Whale watching in Pattaya is intended for travelers who want to observe Bryde’s whales in their natural environment, take photographs from the boat and spend a full day at sea.
After departure from the port, the crew follows current information and searches the bay for signs of whale activity.
The direction and duration of the route may change during the day because whales move freely through a large natural area.
During the whale season, the chance of observation is usually high, but the result always depends on nature.
