Once aboard our large 12 passenger zodiacs, you will be in for a full day immersion in an extraordinary setting as we adventure up Coastal Mountain Fjords, through tidal rapids and island archipelagos in search of the great whales of the Pacific Northwest! These adventures give us the opportunity to really explore the waterways and micro-habitats in search of all kinds of cetaceans: Migratory Humpback Whales, known for their acrobat tendencies, and Orca Whales, which can be one of two ecotypes in our area. Biggs (mammal eating culture) or Residents (salmon eating culture). In our travels we can at any time encounter Eagles, Harbour Seals, Steller sea lions, Pacific white-sided dolphins, Dalls and Harbour Porpoises. With a keen eye on the shore line, there is hope to see Grizzly and Black Bears foraging in the intertidal zone. Half way through our tour, we will stop at any one of the many islands near by for lunch. This can be a picnic spot on a private beach, or a stop at a public dock with shoreside amenities and shops. A local farm to table lunch is provided, as well snacks and hot beverages throughout the tour. Washroom breaks are frequent, quick and convenient.
