Condor Express Cruise
Come along on a 2-hour cruise along the Santa Barbara coast and learn about North America’s first seaside sanctuary being created in Nova Scotia for orca and beluga whales being retired from marine entertainment parks. The sanctuary will occupy more than 100 acres of water space, providing orca and beluga whales with a natural ocean environment that maximizes their well-being and autonomy.
Public opinion has turned against keeping whales and dolphins in captivity. There are already sanctuaries for many land animals who are being retired from zoos and circuses. Now is the time to provide them for whales and dolphins.
The creation of this sanctuary in Canada is the first step toward our vision of a world in which all cetaceans are treated with respect and are no longer confined to concrete tanks in entertainment parks and aquariums.
A new life is possible beyond the tanks!
