Josh paints a vivid picture of birdwatching on the deck, spotting puffins and auklets, then switching focus to a pod of orcas or a humpback’s blowhole rising in the distance. On land, mossy forests whisper with the calls of flycatchers and chickadees, while black bears roam beneath towering ancient trees. Each experience is a reminder of the interconnectedness of life on the coast.
This episode is also a primer on responsible eco-tourism, emphasizing conservation, trail etiquette, and respectful wildlife viewing. Josh shares tips, tools, and tech—from the Merlin bird ID app to plant recognition software—that enhance the adventure and inspire post-trip learning.
If your passport is ready for a real adventure, this episode will nudge you toward a trip unlike any other.
