Join the Crew

 On board the zodiacs, you have the pleasure of having your captain as your guide since you are not required to have an extra crew.

Since 1994, Mark, Tina and their family of 3 children 

have owned and operated Capt Mark's Whale & Seal Cruise and their success rate is one of the highest in the world!
