What You Might See

Area Wildlife

Barnacle Bob's is a fishing and sightseeing charter, not a whale watching or bear viewing tour. We may encounter these animals while we're on the water, but for a dedicated wildlife experience we wholeheartedly recommend our partners. Tap any whale, dolphin, or porpoise card to book with Prince of Whales, or any bear card to book with Tide Rip Grizzly Tours — and tell them Barnacle Bob sent you!
