Families with young children may prefer land-based viewing. Strong winds or rain can reduce visibility and comfort, even from shore. Cliff paths can be slippery; children should be supervised at all times. Wildlife unpredictability — whales are migratory and free-roaming; sightings depend on season, weather, and luck. Weather cancellations — boat trips may be rescheduled or canceled due to rough seas, while shoreline viewing is more reliable. Best viewing times — mornings often provide calmer seas and better light for photography. Patience required — whales may surface irregularly; travelers should be prepared to wait and watch. Festival crowds — during the annual Whale Festival, sightings coincide with large crowds and higher accommodation demand.
