Marine Mammal Watch Permit
The Queen Charlotte Sound is an eco marine haven and sightings of little blue penguins, cormorants and pied shags are common.
We have a Marine Mammal Watch Permit which enables us to view dolphins and seals if we come across them.
Our skippers are locals and have an extensive knowledge of the area which they are happy to share.
