Whale Watching Guarantee:
We are excited for you to have a great whale watching experience at Condor Express Whale Watching. We are so confident you will see animals on your trip that we offer a Whale Watch Guarantee. We are one of the only whale watching companies that offer this guarantee. On the majority of our whale watching trips we see whales. On others, we may have sightings of dolphins, porpoises, Orcas (killer whales), basking sharks or other animals. We will give you plenty of time to watch them. Sometimes due to weather, or the unpredictability of the animals themselves, we are “skunked”. If we don’t see whales or have sightings of other marine animals, the Captain will issue “whale checks”. Whale checks are good for a free trip of the same trip type on another Condor Express Whale Watching trip during the season. There are NO REFUNDS for whale watching trips when whales are not sighted, but we’ll be happy to take you on another trip for free.
