What are hydrophones? Are they important?
One experience not to be missed is listening to the haunting songs of male whales. Hydrophones are sensitive microphones that can be lowered into the water. This is done when the boat’s engine is turned off. The sounds are usually played over the boat’s public address system. You’re likely to hear not one but several singing whales in the area. Be sure your cruise is equipped with hydrophones so you can hear the whales’ songs during your whalewatch.
