Immerse yourself in the world of the whales!

Unique videos, sound recordings, games, a skeleton collection and exclusive film screenings in an air-conditioned room provide the perfect complement to a whale-watching excursion. Specialists are available on site to answer your questions. All proceeds from your purchases at the gift shop help the whales.
