A Whale's Song Expeditions is run by Captain Neil McDermott with partner Karen Mead. McDermott spent 30 years in hospital dietary management before a friend's reminder that "tomorrow isn't promised" pushed him to resign and start over; meeting marine scientist Dr. Jim Darling at Sitka's WhaleFest in 2016 inspired a tour built around actually listening to whales through a hydrophone.
The operation runs small-group whale watching and wildlife photography trips in Sitka Sound aboard the 43-foot Cat Daddy, with both a captain and a naturalist on every trip. The company deliberately avoids the turn-and-burn tour model, holds a Responsible Whale Watching Certificate from the World Cetacean Alliance, and has donated to marine conservation groups.
Background as described by the operator on their own website.
$150–$200/person whale watching & marine wildlife (3–4 hrs)
