“Great afternoon tour with Isabelle, Sean, Thomas, and Capt Matt. We followed a pod of 5 orcas, one of which was less than a month old. Also saw lots of seals, birds annd a few porpoises.

“Amazing opportunity to see a couple of pods of transient whales. Sheila and Phil were great and had a lot of knowledge of the area and the orcas. Seemed to be very eco-conscious, even turning around to pick up a balloon that was floating in the water.”
