In Short – Hop aboard an Island Packers Cruises' charter boat for a trip that offers expansive coastal views as well as abundant wildlife sightings. Blue, gray and humpback whales, orcas, dolphins and otters are just a few of the sea mammals that can be spotted along the way. After the hourlong boat ride, passengers can swap city stress for the serenity of this undeveloped island and its rolling green hills, beautiful beaches and cliffside bluffs dotted with wildflowers. –
