Whale Watching Program in Pattaya
This tour is for travelers who want to see whales in their natural habitat, take photos from the boat and spend a day at sea. The exact route depends on the weather, sea conditions and whale movement in the bay.
Whales are wild animals, so sightings cannot be guaranteed like in a show or zoo. During the whale season, chances are usually high, but the final result always depends on nature.
Morning departure from Pattaya
Hotel pick-up in Pattaya usually starts early in the morning. After arrival at the port, guests register, board the boat and receive a short briefing before departure.
Whale watching in the bay
The main part of the day is spent searching for whales and watching them from a safe distance. The crew follows the situation at sea and chooses the most suitable direction for the route.
Breakfast, lunch and photo time
Breakfast and lunch are included in the tour price. There is also time for photos and videos during the trip, especially when whales appear near the boat.
