When you choose a whale and dolphin watching trip with a WCA Certified operator, you can be sure you will be in for a fantastic experience!

Not only do WCA Certified Whale and Dolphin Watching operators meet the highest standards for customer experience but their practices ensure that the animals they encounter are not put under excess stress or disturbance.

The WCA and WCA Partners believe that responsible whale and dolphin watching goes beyond animal welfare and customer experience and should benefit local communities and have a greater positive effect on the environment. That’s why the WCA’s Certification programme requires operators to integrate, environmental, social and economic sustainability into their businesses.
