Small Boat Or Large Boat For Whale Watching
There are many different ways to go whale watching
. From large boat excursions to small boat tours and even by kayaking, seeing the Orca whales up close can be accomplished in a variety of ways. However, the most touted and effective and therefore enjoyable way to see these fabulous whales is by choosing a small boat whale watching company.All whale watching boats have a maximum allowed number of paying guests that they can carry at one time.While some large boats may carry upwards of 100 passengers, the smaller more personal boats usual have a capacity of ten to twelve and some even limit themselves to six. The more intimate number provides each passenger with an equal opportunity to take pictures, and just enjoy the whales up close. There is no arm twisting or jostling to get to the rail on a small boat as there often is on a larger boat when everybody wants to see the same view at the same time.
Interacting on a small boat with the captain is much easier than on a larger boat. This is partially because the captain of a small boat is much more accessible to his guests then his counter-part on a large boat. Most small boat captains really enjoy getting to share their knowledge of the areas wildlife, whales, flora and fauna. The environment and the experience of seeing it is what draws people Whale Watching in the first place. Seeing the Orcas in the wild is simply a spectacular event.

When you are looking into a Whale Watching tour make sure you understand the differences between the different companies. Most larger boats can offer trips at a discounted price because they more than make up their profit in volume. Small Whale Watching companies do not have that luxury. If price is your main concern a large boat Whale Watching company may be best suited for you. Often larger boat companies have multiple tour boats operated by employees. Usually the small boat Whale Watch tours are operated by the business owner, and often the captain is the owner as well. If the overall experience of the entire trip is what will matter the most to you, look into going Whale Watching on a small boat.
