Please note that these expeditions involve wild animal encounters, and while there is never any guarantee of sighting wildlife, we strategically plan our visits during the best times of the year for the greatest chances of success.

We want to highlight that touching wildlife is strictly NOT permitted.

Every encounter is unique, and the duration is solely at the discretion of the animals.

Participants caught manhandling wildlife may be asked to leave the water or the area.

It's essential to maintain a safe distance and show utmost respect towards wildlife.

We know there's never a certainty, but during our expeditions, we've had a remarkable record. We've encountered orcas on 70% of the trips we've run, making this an exceptional opportunity to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

Furthermore, if the animal is not interested in interacting with us or shows signs of stress, we will leave the animal alone and go find other wildlife to encounter.

YOUR SAFETY AND THE WELL-BEING OF THE ANIMALS ARE OUR TOP PRIORITIES.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in preserving the beauty of the wildlife and their environment.
