What To Expect
We’re lucky to have four different species of whales in our area: orcas, humpbacks, grays, and minkes. Connecting with these majestic animals in their natural habitat is exhilarating! Although our focus is whale watching, we will also encounter many other species of marine mammals and birds along the way. The incredible diversity of local wildlife means no two trips are alike, so it’s worth coming out more than once!
