Our large group, ages from 7 to 88 years, had a fantastic time aboard the Blackfish IV with Brooke, Alex, and Drew. We saw seals, sea lions, many birds along with minky whales and a pod of Killer Whales. All of the crew were completely invested in providing us with a great experience and incredible learning. They consistently checked in with each guest asking what questions we had and teaching us about the islands and the amazing wildlife. It is always a pleasure to have guides who are passionate about their work and these people definitely are. I would absolutely do this excursion again if/when I return to Orcas Island.
