We are elated to announce that USA Today has ranked us as one of the top 5 most ethical whale watching companies in North America. Here’s what the wonderful people at @victoria_city_canada had to say about this honour,
From industrial pollution to ocean noise and climate change, humans have pushed several whale species dangerously close to extinction. So, when responsible whale-watching companies like Springtide prioritize conservation and education, it’s a big deal. Being recognized for this is just one step toward further awareness of the plight of whales.
Their approach? Every single ticket sends a few dollars straight to saving Chinook Salmon, which is a huge food source for local whales and a critical player in marine ecosystems 🌎💚
At the helm is Captain Dan Kukat, who’s no stranger to ocean preservation. He’s penned guidelines for ethical tours and decked out his boats with planet-friendly features like biofuel engines and eco-safe paint. Here, as USA Today says, it’s not just about spotting whales — it’s about giving back to the waters and species that make these tours possible.
