What to expect

All passengers need to be at our pickup location *30* minutes prior to tour time departure! We pick up passengers from the cruise ship port, 16 at a time. The drive from the cruise ship port to the harbor is 5-10 minutes. The tour is 3 hours this includes pickup and drop off to cruise ship port, from start to finish to find Humpback whales, porpoise, sea otters, eagles, seals, brown bear, deer and, possibly, orcas. There is no telling what we may see while out on tour. Our vessel is a 38 foot Power Cat that has bench seating, a heated cab, and an aft deck for viewing the wildlife. There is a restroom on board with a marine head. A big selling point for our tour is the lack of sea sickness. Our vessel rolls 78% less then the traditional mono hull.
