By land or sea, we find any way to play! Let us take you paddling or hiking, sledding or snorkeling, whatever your tour desire is we will do our best to get you out there. From 2 hour tours to multi-day adventures, our two locations and mobile services are ready to launch you into the wild…
This is your vacation, so design your own, unique tour with the help of our certified professional guides and instructors. We also offer services in Japanese, Spanish, French, and German. Please book in advance for language services.
At Dog Mermaid we try everything we can to keep our marine life happy. A big part of this is keeping a good distance from seals, sea lions, dolphins, and whales while on the water. These majestic creatures love to play and when it comes to whales we much prefer to see them from land or sky! (and they are much happier for it too).
Paddle, Hiking & Sledding Tours
At Dog Mermaid we aim to engage all your senses while on an excursion. From a leisurely 2hr tour to an all-day island adventure, we look to fill it with sights, knowledge, laughter, and even the odd ocean delicacy and creature cuddle. Tours may be mixed with hikes, picnics, and yoga. It's your vacation, so build it to your liking!
We start with the basics to decide the individual/groups skill and comfort level. From there we can decide our route and activities involved in our time together. We believe in education while playing allowing you to raise your comfort and skill level along the way.
Whale Watching, Fishing and Boat Charter
At Dog Mermaid we try everything we can to keep our marine life happy. A big part of this is keeping a 200-400 meter distance from seals, sea lions, dolphins, and whales while on the water. This does not always happen when a seal gets curious about our boats and boards. That is their decision, not ours, at which point we try to move carefully away so as not to harm or scare the animals. When it comes to whales we much prefer to see them from land or sky!
