Good to Know Before You Go

If you are prone to motion sickness, taking a prescribed seasickness pill 30 minutes before boarding the boat is highly recommended.

The ocean sun can be harsh. Bring plenty of sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and polarized sunglasses to protect yourself and spot whales better.

While Mirissa has extremely high sighting rates, these are wild animals. Encounters are highly likely but can never be 100% guaranteed.
