BEFORE THE WALK EVENT!

Elsie Buck would like to have The Island Hoppers join her and Joe on a Whale Watching Tour in the morning before the Walk Event at Middle Head.

Call Elsie at 562-3117 and leave a message if she is not home at that time.

Please make the arrangements with Elsie, as I will be working that morning.

The whale tour begins at 10:00am, you should arrive 15-30min before departure.

The tour is: SEAQUARIUM WHALE WATCHING TOUR, Phone for additional details: 285-2103.

The cost is $25.00 + tax/person

If needed rain gear is provided, though the tour does not go if there is rough seas!

The minimum number of passengers is six and there is seating fo 40 on this 44 ft Cape Islander.

There is a 95% chance of seeing whales on a cruise which takes about 2 1/2 hours, so there is plenty of time to get to our walk at 2pm at the Keltic Lodge which is about 15 minutes from the dock, the whale tour is about 1hr 45 min from Sydney.
