Equipment For Whale Watching Tours
Your safety is our priority! Our zodiac boat is a 25 foot RHIB (Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat). What is a RHIB? Also known as a “Zodiac”, RHIBs are powerboats fitted with inflatable collars or tubes, which make RHIBs almost unsinkable and suitable for use in all sorts of conditions. RHIBs are some of the most versatile boats available and are used as rescue boats, and patrol boats. Our RHIB is Transport Canada certified as a tour operating boat with a capacity of 12 persons. As well, our boat is equipped with your choice of brand new Helly Hansen flotation suits.
**Please note that “Zodiac” is a brand name of a RHIB — it is not a style of boat.

We require a minimum of 6 people in order to head out for a tour. If you are unsure whether we have enough people booked you can call us at 709-464-3712.
