Travel Time Gatherall’s catamaran greatly reduces travel time to and from the Ecological Reserve so that you spend more time with the birds and whales and less time in transit. By reducing travel time, we have been able to trim our tour length to 90 minutes - leaving more time to take in other sites and attractions.
