Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be under the waves with our endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales (SRKW)? We do and you can have an opportunity to step into the ocean with them during an open house being held on Galiano Island.

The Southern Gulf Islands Whale Sighting Network (SGISWN), sponsored by Saturna Island Marine and Education Society (SIMRES), is piloting CRITICAL DISTANCE throughout the islands using an immersive shared mixed reality (MR) experience that brings audiences into the world of the SRKWs.

Seen through the eyes of Kiki, an eight-year-old orca who carries the future of her pod on her shoulders, participants experience how Kiki communicates with her family through echolocation and together face the daily perils threatening her famous family, J Pod.

Please note there are age guidance restrictions, as MR is not recommended for those 10 years and under.
