I started the tour off right with a pineapple wine cooler. It was scrumptious!
An entertaining thing happened while we waited for our turn to tour, some Minke whales were frolicking in the bay right in front of the dock. The tour guide told us , once we were on board, that these whales are shy and don’t usually come jumping out of the water like we might see a humpback whale do. It was still cool to see their dorsal fins and the spray from their spouts after they rose up from the water to catch another breath.
This is what one looks like – out of the water!
These are the photos we took from the dock.
The splash from the whale going back down. 
You can see the dorsal fin peeking up. 
Good-bye whale! 
Here it comes again! 
See the water spray?
As soon as Zoom Zoom and I got on the boat we headed straight upstairs. I knew we weren’t going to sit for the tour since I wanted to take photos. We ended up practically front and center and it was perfect! As usual, we had on our seasick bracelets and had already taken our medication. Something we learned is they do not sell Dramamine in Canada AT ALL so be sure to take all you will need in to the country before you get here. They sell ginger root tablets for sea sickness – I don’t think it is as effective.
The tour guide on this tour was well seasoned. His jokes were funny and he was super informative (I know he should be.)
I can just imagine pirates hiding treasure in the cave! 
Each millimeter of earth is 100 years. See how the land was pushed up sideways? Plate tectonics.

See the dorsal fin again? 
is is a shot down into the water. Those little fish are caplin. 
We saw a bald eagle! 
Kayakers – told not to feed them! They don’t want to encourage their breeding. 
Another whale. 
Still playing!

See the rickety fence? That kept the sheep from wandering off. 
I love these little fishing villages.

I love that he is painting the fence by hand.

I see a Minke whale! 
Boom! Up and down – gone in a flash! 
I asked if I could drive – he pretended he didn’t speak English! 🙂 
Pssssft! 
No, not a shark! You don’t need a bigger boat. 
Hello, Bald Eagle! 
Peek-a-Boo! 
Rickety fence to keep the sheep in. 
Nice tour – I’d do it again.
Before we docked the captain and 2 crew members played 3 songs for us. They we excellent! They play at a local pub in Rocky Harbor.
