About
Once we depart Lund, we travel to the Sound with stops at former village sites and homesteads, and make our way into parts of the marine park, drifting to observe wildlife en route. On the full day tour, we widen our circle to explore a few more places, and a shore stop part way through to tour to stretch our legs and even swim! Our return includes the Copeland Islands Marine Park.
Minimum # of Guests Policy:
3.5 hour tours have a minimum number of 3 guests and 6 & 8 hour tours have a minimum number of 4 guests required to run the tour. If your tour fails to reach its required minimum, your tour may be changed to a Private Tour, a shorter time frame OR moved to a different day. Our office will communicate with you if changes are required.
