What a beautiful day we had on on the water today! As we were leaving the dock captain Sarah and myself were excited for what the day had in store. 

 

We had already received reports of numerous biggest killer whale families in the area which is something that is always ideal and exciting when we’re leaving the dock!

 

 

We boarded M/V Seahawk, and headed out of Roche Harbor, passing by Pearl Island on our...

Today was a beautiful, calm and sunny day out on the water!  Captain Sarah took the helm of M/V Sea Hawk as we made our voyage north towards Turn Point.  As we emerged from Roche Harbor it only took us minutes to find our first species of the day, majestic bald eagles!  There were at least 5-6 eagles on treetops and soaring over a nearby island.  One junior passenger Gavin had an "eagle eye" and was our avian spotter for the...

Today was a lovely day in Roche Harbor! The sun was shining, the birds were chirping and church bells rang in the distance. Our private charter excitedly jumped on the boat, ready for what the day had to offer!

Happy June! Today was a bright and sunny day in the Salish Sea as we begin to really come into our summer season. We left the docks in Roche Harbor and pointed north past Spieden Island and into the narrow waters of John’s Pass which twists between Stuart Island and John’s Island. The small curvy channel opens into Boundary Pass which holds the border between the US and Canada! We motored across that border while...

What a great day out on the water! Captain Erick and I took the Sea Hawk out of Roche Harbor and headed north through the channel towards Spieden Island.

We went past the western tip of the island and up towards Johns Island. It was such a gorgeous view as we went through John's pass and enjoyed the shimmering water against the shoreline. Peering through the trees we were able to spot a Native American longhouse hidden in the...

Today our guests aboard the Sea Hawk were celebrating a wedding in Roche Harbor and boy did they pick a great day for a whale watch! There had been reports of rain for today but instead all we saw were sunny skies! Just before we left the docks a report of Bigg's killer whales came through; they’d been picked up just off Moresby Island and were hanging out there taking down a bunch of harbor seals! We motored over...

Today was a beautiful day out on the water!  As we got off the dock Captain Gabe and myself were very excited at what potential the day would hold!  We had heard reports of Transient orcas all the way into Vancouver Island, but knew that would be quite a trek!  We decided to give it a shot and the enthusiasm of our guests made it clear that this was the right choice!  Everyone was ready to be naturalists as we started our search out into the...
