Great Birding Adventure at Sea
I went on one of Westport Seabirds’ pelagic birding trips and highly recommend it IF you’re not prone to seasickness. They take you up to 30 miles off the coast. Their staff is friendly, enthusiastic, and super knowledgeable, and they do all they can to make sure you get great views of birds you’d never see on land. We saw sooty shearwaters diving for chum and they looked like they were flying underwater, very cool. Fun to watch the albatrosses seemingly walking and skating on top of the water, too. We even saw a South Polar Skua, among many other birds. Our trip was lucky and saw orcas, too, as well as humpback whales and dolphins. Be prepared for a very early start (we had a beautiful dawn) and a long day at sea (~ 10 hrs.) with food, a hat, sunblock, and energy!

Great birds; great crew
If you are interested in pelagic birds, take a trip with Westport Seabirds. The members of the crew are all very knowledgeable and very patient in explaining the sometimes subtle differences between species. They do everything possible to ensure that everyone sees everything. They also point out mammals and fish that are encountered. My wife and I loved our trip.

Hard to beat!
This was my first pelagic birding adventure, and it was fantastic! The skipper and spotters are extremely knowledgeable of the birds to expect at any given point in time. The vessel was in tip-top shape with plenty of room for the 20 or so of us on board. Our weather was fair and bright, which made things even more pleasant. We went about 35-50 miles out to sea and back. For a first pelagic tour, Westport Seabirds Pelagic was an excellent choice for me. And I picked up about 7 life birds! Highly recommended for newbies and oldies.
