January 3rd on the Salish Sea: A Winter Eco Tour to Remember ❄️🌊

Winter has a way of surprising us on the water — and our January 3rd Winter Eco Tour was a perfect reminder of just how alive the coast remains during the quieter months. As we departed Steveston that morning, the rain eased and the sky began to open. Even if it hadn’t, our covered vessel ensured everyone stayed warm and comfortable as we headed out to explore the winter coastline. One of the joys of winter touring is being able to settle in, take your time, and let the day unfold naturally.

Meet the humpback whales of the Salish Sea! 🐋

If you find humpback whales when you join us for a tour, your marine naturalist will do their best to identify the individual. Humpback whales have unique marks on their flukes that help us identify them at an individual level, so your guide will be able to tell you their name, sometimes their age and sex, and other unique stories about their history and personality. There are hundreds of humpback whales that call the Salish Sea home, but we have a few favourites that we tend to see every year!

This September, our guests and crew experienced something truly remarkable: several encounters with Northern Resident Killer Whales in the Salish Sea. These moments were unforgettable for everyone.

Bigg’s Killer Whales: Risks, Realities & How You Can Help

Bigg’s killer whales, also known as transient orcas, are among the most awe-inspiring animals in the Salish Sea. Unlike the fish-eating Southern Residents, Bigg’s specialize in hunting marine mammals such as seals, sea lions, and porpoises. They are powerful, intelligent, and highly social, often traveling in family groups that showcase their tight bonds and cooperative hunting strategies. But even these top predators face significant risks in our shared waters—risks that are human-caused.
