Simon is also an avid wildlife photographer and all the images you see on this website were taken by Simon on our whale watching adventures. He has the uncanny knack for being in the right place at the right time to capture those unbelievable moments. On his tours he always make a point to set the boat up for those wanting to try their hand at capturing images on their tour.

When Simon is not spending time off with his children and wife you will find him in his boat doing what he loves. Photo documenting whales and other wildlife all around Vancouver Island. He is known to go on epic whale searching expeditions offshore of the west coast of Vancouver Island looking for exotic transient orca whales and other cetaceans. His photographs are shared with local and international whale researchers.

You can be assured that Simon’s passion and enthusiasm will make your whale watching adventure unforgettable! His goal is to make sure that everyone on the tour has as much fun as he does while being educated about the diverse marine ecosystem called the Salish Sea.
