Pre-trip thoughts, before you go on your Eco Wildlife Cruise
At AK Wildlife Cruises, we want to ensure that you have the best experience during your wildlife cruise. Here are some pre-trip considerations to help you make the most of your adventure:
-
Photography is Actively Encouraged: Capture the memories of your wildlife encounters and the stunning coastal landscapes by bringing your camera or smartphone. From playful dolphins to soaring seabirds, there will be numerous opportunities to snap breathtaking photos. Don't forget to bring spare batteries or a portable charger to keep your devices powered throughout the trip.
-
Bring Binoculars: Enhance your wildlife-watching experience by bringing a pair of binoculars, if you have them. Binoculars allow you to observe marine creatures and coastal birds up close, even from a distance. You'll be amazed by the level of detail and the ability to spot wildlife that may be farther away.
-
Sunglasses for Better Visuals: The sun's glare on the water can sometimes make it challenging to see wildlife or fully appreciate the coastal scenery. Consider wearing sunglasses to reduce the glare, allowing for improved visibility and more enjoyable visuals. You'll have a clearer view of the wildlife and the stunning surroundings.
-
Grippy Shoes and Waterproofs: We recommend wearing grippy shoes or non-slip footwear to ensure stability and safety on the boat. The decks can become wet or slippery, especially if there are waves or inclement weather. Additionally, bringing waterproofs such as a light rain jacket or a waterproof hat can provide protection from unexpected showers or sea spray, keeping you comfortable throughout the trip.
By keeping these pre-trip thoughts in mind and coming prepared, you'll have a fantastic time on your wildlife cruise with AK Wildlife Cruises. So, grab your camera, binoculars, sunglasses, and suitable footwear, and get ready for an unforgettable adventure along the breathtaking coastline of Cornwall.
