We used to have a beautiful mural on the side of the building that was sadly destroyed, along with the rest of the office in the winter of 2016.

Sea Lion School

Springtime. When the humpback whales come back, Sea Lions take over and kids are still in school. This time of year gives us a great opportunity to see both Stellar and Californian Sea Lions congregate in great numbers in the Salish sea! And to see them super close to home for us in Steveston.

Whale Watching at Spieden Island

Another great whale watching adventure! This trip showcased why having such a large range is a great advantage for us here at Seabreeze Adventures in Steveston. We cover the waters off Vancouver & Richmond but also the Gulf Islands off Vancouver Island & US waters around the San Juan Islands. So much space to find some whales and wildlife!
