Your experience is very unique because it is on a specifically designed whale watching boat. There will be only up to 13 guests aboard so there is plenty of room inside and out for everyone. Your experienced captain is a local resident with a great deal of knowledge of the wildlife and area, and lots of good stories to tell. Our tour length ensures that you have plenty of time to relax and enjoy the beauty of our area and the incredible wildlife. We’ve been sharing our part of the world with enthusiastic guests for over 25 years and would love to share it with you, too.

Loved the whale watching tour! Shawn took excellent care of our group. He knows exactly where to look for whales, sea otters and harbor seals. He was in contact with other boats to find them and share locations with them too. I would definitely book with them again!
