About this trip

Sightings are likely rather than promised, which is why Priya picks the route by radio and the morning's reports. Expect orcas in season, minke and humpbacks most weeks, and bald eagles at every headland. If a trip sees no whales, you can rebook another date at no charge.

Worth every dollar. We saw things we would never have found alone.
