The tour route provides our guides with the opportunity to share their knowledge of the area, as well as interpret intertidal creatures and plants. If you are lucky, you might get surprise interpretations about orcas, seals, sea lions, dolphins, porpoises, deer, mink, river otters, bald eagles and black bears within their natural environment.
We realize that it’s hard to not have high expectations when the chance to see orcas up close is possible. However, it’s important to keep in mind that we only provide the opportunity. Encountering these magnificent creatures while kayaking is a unique and unforgettable experience. With this in mind, the tour will keep you in areas frequented by these spectacular mammals for as long as possible.
