Whales and wildlife at your doorstep! Learn about local marine life in Sointula, Canada

Detalhes

  Descrição

  Sointula is a small village, on a large island. Settled by the Finnish people, over 100 years ago, Sointula deserves its reputation as unique in the area. With hiking, biking, boating, and of course, wildlife, Malcolm Island is a treasure trove to discover. I have been working with a local marine mammal research group here for over 20 years, and can contribute to my guests understanding of the animals that frequent the area. I keep a field camp on the northshore of the island, as the Northern Resident Orcas are my main interest. Once the daily work is done, many adventures await you!
  
  My home is on an oceanfront property, with two additional, smaller dwellings, which are the private sleeping quarters for my Workaway guests. Just blocks from the ferry, stores, cafes, library, and post office. Marine life at your doorstep! Orca, Humpback, and Minke Whales. Otters, Sealions, and all manner of birds.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Sointula is an historic Finnish village, much to be learned about the original Finnish settlers, as well as the current residents. I am a member of the local Marine Mammal Research group here, and can educate travellers as to how to have a spectacular experience, esp with the orcas that frequent the area.
