This expert-led expedition goes beyond any ordinary whale watch. Kayak with humpbacks and orcas in their natural habitat. Then live and work at a remote biological field station.
Experience a close encounter of the marine mammal kind. On dramatic Vancouver Island, BC, witness the harbor seals, porpoises, dolphins, sea lions and whales that come here to play in a wondrous natural playground. Immerse yourself in their world so that you can leave yours behind. Hunt for knowledge alongside marine scientists, researchers and naturalist guides in stunning wilderness settings. Turn their ecosystems inside out and help make them better when you’re done. It’s challenging. It’s up close. It’s personal. It’s unlike anything else back home.
