Spend some time with Victoria's wildlife: seals, sea lions, sea birds, Dall's and Harbour porpoise. Past years have seen many sightings of Elephant Seals; the male of this species can weigh up to 2000 pounds, and is easily recognized by the proboscis (snout) that gives the seal its name.

There have also been many sightings of eagles in the area. This trip is a great way to learn a little more about the ecosystem around Victoria from an experienced naturalist.
