First a 30-40 minutes lecture at the Whale Institute Jubarte in Praia do Forte. After the lecture, there is a 10 to 15 minutes walk to the beach. After boarding the schooner, we head to watch these huge mammals, accompanied of an environmental guide. Although the probability of sighting them exceed 90%, if the whales are not spotted there will not be a refund of the amount paid – there is a possibility of doing a new tour in the next day as long as there are available places.
