The company specializes in small-group marine tours using purpose-built vessels including a Zodiac (Seabreeze I), a 14‑metre open-air vessel with upper viewing deck, and a semi-enclosed vessel with comfortable seating and onboard facilities.
Trips include a Zodiac Vessel Whale Watching Tour with certified flotation suits for close, exhilarating encounters; an Open Air Vessel Whale Watching trip aboard the 14‑metre craft with 360-degree views; and a Semi-Enclosed Vessel experience offering longer 3–5 hour excursions. Local, licensed guides lead each tour and use established wildlife-viewing practices to prioritize marine welfare and passenger safety. Safety equipment and flotation suits are provided where required, and vessels are equipped with seating, upper decks for viewing, and quiet, powerful engines to minimize disturbance to wildlife.
