Private Salish Sea Birding Tour for 1 to 6 People

Captain Ken and his wife Laurel run an exceptional small-boat operation that consistently delivers memorable wildlife encounters. Their intimate six-person vessel offers a completely different experience from larger tour boats, giving guests flexibility to move around and enjoy unobstructed views. Ken's extensive knowledge of local marine life and geography shines through, and reviewers repeatedly praise his skill at locating orca pods, humpback whales, sea lions, and various seabirds. His passion for the Pacific Northwest waters is contagious. A standout feature is Ken's photography service. He captures professional-quality images throughout the tour and shares them with guests afterward, allowing everyone to stay present in the moment rather than fumbling with cameras. The personalized attention makes this especially great for families and those who prefer a more private experience. Even on the rare occasions when orcas don't appear, guests report having wonderful days thanks to Ken's expertise and the beautiful scenery around Anacortes and the San Juan Islands.
