Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if no whales are seen during the Quicksilver cruise?
Whale sightings are guaranteed. If no humpback whales are spotted during the two-hour cruise, guests may return for another eligible whale-watching trip free of charge under the operator's return-trip policy.
Can passengers hear whale songs during the tour?
When whales are vocalizing nearby and conditions allow, the crew uses an underwater hydrophone so guests can listen to live humpback whale sounds. The number and clarity of the sounds vary with whale activity during each cruise.
Which Quicksilver whale-watch departure should I choose?
Four daily departures are offered during the season, including morning, midday and afternoon options. The 3:30 pm cruise may feature special late-bird pricing, while earlier departures may appeal to guests who prefer to complete their whale watch before other afternoon plans.
