Service Description

Join us for a captivating adventure through the pristine Salish Sea while supporting a great cause! These exclusive trips are essential fundraisers that allow us to continue providing invaluable educational programs throughout the year. Discover the pristine waters of the Salish Sea, where you can encounter whales, porpoises, seals, and seabirds. Enjoy a private lesson onboard or on the island for a truly unique experience! We are passionate about introducing our community to the incredible marine classroom right outside our doorstep. Our experiential lessons combined with marine conservation education are essential for fostering a healthy Salish Sea ecosystem, inspiring a desire to protect and restore this vital area. In our small group setting, participants receive personalized attention from our dedicated crew, who share fascinating insights about the Salish Sea’s rich ecosystem and how to support its remarkable inhabitants. We also strive to include an island stop, where you can relax on the beach or hike through the forest, depending on time and wildlife viewing conditions. Join us for an unforgettable adventure that deepens your understanding of the Salish Sea while creating cherished memories. Your ticket purchase directly funds our student programs and scholarships, enabling children to experience the thrill of a boat ride, kayaking, and tide pooling—many may even encounter sand for the first time! Thank you for supporting our programs through these fundraisers!
