Featuring a warm, comfortable cabin with large windows and a spacious deck, the boat is constructed specifically to ride smoothly in most conditions. With only six people per tour, the captain aims to make the 2-hour trip as comfortable and informative as possible.

You might get a glimpse of whales feeding on herring, otters lounging in the kelp, sea lions barking, or possibly even a bear patrolling the beach. No matter what time of the year you visit, expect some great photo opportunities of the surrounding scenery.
