New tour announcement!

This summer, FRS Clipper is partnering with Taproot Travel Co. to launch First Stories of the Salish Sea, a new Indigenous-led cultural experience aboard our whale watching tours.

This special experience builds on our whale watching tours by integrating Indigenous storytelling, cultural education, and Native foodways, centering Coast Salish perspectives on the water, land, and marine life of the Salish Sea.

Guests will hear from Tribal cultural leaders including Valerie Segrest (Muckleshoot) and Owen Oliver (Quinault), enjoy Indigenous-owned food and beverage offerings, and experience a tea tasting curated by Elizabeth Campbell (Spokane).

Designed to support Native economies while offering visitors a deeper connection to this region, these tours are a meaningful new way to experience the Salish Sea.

There will only be 6 sailings taking place on Tuesdays from June 16 through July 24, with limited tickets available for each departure.

Today, more than a million visitors wander through its pathways each year, exploring everything from the iconic Sunken Garden to the peaceful Japanese Garden and thousands of tulips and roses in bloom each summer.
