Pelagic Tours Are Back Starting September 23rd!

Tours resume Sept 23rd on Artemis!

Our 8:30 AM tours resume September 23rd, and we can’t wait to see what whales and wildlife are waiting for us just offshore!

Our team has been off-Island running humpback expeditions in Tonga, and now that they’re back, Captain Andrew and Naturalist Olivia are getting married! What better way to celebrate than by joining us on their first few tours after the festivities?
