Thetis Cetacean Sightings Notifications

Want to know when orcas, humpback whales, or porpoises are visible from Thetis Island? With many eyes on the sea, it turns out they’re here more often than you might know. Lots of recent orca sightings. And there’s a chatter-free way to know as soon as they’re around, and tell others if you’ve spotted a cetacean, too.

Happy whale-watching!
