NO. It is very important to be aware that this is a 100% natural tour in the open wild and not a zoo! Therefore we can never guarantee for sure that cetaceans will be sighted, but we can promise we will do our best to find them. Since our launch until now, 94% of the tours were successful (data 2019+2020), but nature is nature and sometimes it happens!
