Every day will bring a new array of stunning sights and surprises. Wildlife that we are likely to see include, orca, pacific white-sided dolphins, Dall's porpoises, humpback whales, harbour seals, sea-lions, black bears foraging on the beach and the majestic bald eagle perched in a tree. Lunches will be savored on one of the many beaches throughout the archipelago, each with a spectacular view and often on an ancient First Nations village site. Afternoons will be spent paddling, snoozing on a sunny beach or relaxing aboard the ship.

We will choose between a last paddle, or if the orca are in the area, we may spend some time whale watching from the ship as we make our way back to Port McNeill. We will serve a last lunch along the way. Our approximate return time is between 1pm and 3 pm but please note that this cannot always be guaranteed as the weather and wildlife will play a role in determining when we get back.
