Humpback Whales and Wildlife
8 Hours
Private Groups (up to 6 guests)
This is a full day tour to view humpback whales and other marine mammals in Frederick Sound! During the summer the whales are here to eat (a thousand pounds a day!) so the whales are always moving around looking for the most concentrated schools of food. It’s not uncommon to see 20 to 30 whales. The boat is equipped with a hydrophone so we can listen to the whales as well as watch!
We sometimes also spot orcas, porpoises, sea lions, harbor seals, eagles and a variety of sea birds. Along the shoreline, we keep an eye out for bears, moose, deer and wolves.
We limit our tours to private groups of up to 6 guests for a personalized experience. All tours include tons of natural history information!
Our tours often stop at a beach for a stretch break or lunch stop.
SPECIAL NOTE: Due to the rising fuel costs, there may be a fuel surcharge that will be calculated and added to your subtotal on the day of your trip.
