About the event
Our Community Access Wildlife Trips are offered on a suggested donation basis as part of our commitment to expanding access to the Salish Sea for everyone.
With no more than six passengers aboard, these small-group outings create an intimate and welcoming space to explore, learn, and connect with the marine environment together.
Before departure, guests are invited to a brief in-person introduction to the wildlife and ecosystems of the Salish Sea. Our passionate naturalists will share what makes this place so extraordinary—from seabirds and seals to whales and the intricate web of life that connects them all. These conversations help deepen the experience and reveal the remarkable relationships that shape life in this unique inland sea.
As a nonprofit organization, our mission is to connect people with the Salish Sea and inspire stewardship for the waters and wildlife that sustain it. We believe meaningful experiences in nature should not be limited…
