Evening Wildlife Viewing Tours
From July 15 to August 15, join us for a 2 ½ to 3 hour evening wildlife viewing tour. As we depart Hardy Bay we are on the lookout for sea otters, humpback whales, orcas, Dalls’ porpoises, Pacific white-side dolphins, Steller sea lions, bald eagles and a multitude of sea birds.
We may not see all these animals on every trip but our guides are well acquainted with the local waters and the best places to see wildlife. To provide you the best opportunity to see as much wildlife as possible in a day you may also want to consider the longer 5 ½ to 6 hour Whale Watching and Wildlife Viewing tour that can cover a greater area and can spend more time viewing wildlife.
