Hi are you interested in seeing Tufted Puffins close to Vancouver?

If so there is a breeding colony in the Salish Sea not too far from Lopez Island at Smith Island.

There are two pelagic trips offered on July 16th and July 30th from Bellingham this year for 89$ US per adult and 44.50$ US for youth they leave at 8:45am and get back at 4pm. Hot lunch included!


All info and where to purchase tickets is here:
