A terrific day on the water - Had a wonderful trip on our tour with our fantastic guide, Marty. Saw 10+ humpbacks, a pod of orca, dolphins, seals and sea lions. Water was calm, no wind, a perfect day for it. A terrific experience, highly recommended.

Awesome whale acrobatics! - Laura was such an incredible pilot on our awesome whale-watching tour! With no whales on anyone's radar, she found us a pod of 6 Humpbacks. Laura shut down the boat engine for 20 minutes while the Humpbacks came to our boat & performed incredible acrobats for us. Then she took us to Mitlenatch Island to explain & enjoy lots of Sea Lions, Seals & ducks & birds. Thanx for such a memorable tour!

Great morning out in spectacular scenery - Great morning out with Laura. We saw a bear, porpoises, heaps of dolphins, sea lions and two humpbacks. Scenery was amazing and the weird tidal whirlpools were freaky, especially the section with sea lions playing in the current. Laura was a great guide, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Would recommend

Should be 10 stars! - This trip was amazing. Nova was our skipper and guide and she was fantastic - so knowledgeable, competent, interesting - everything you could wish for. We were lucky enough to see humpback whales breaching which made our day, as well as sea lions, seals and bald eagles as well as lots of salmon jumping. There was a very tasty lunch in an idyllic situation as we watched whales diving and blowing. The suits you’re given at check in protect you from the wind ( we had no rain!) but do bring sun glasses to protect your eyes. This trip is a memorable lifetime experience in a beautiful situation and if you’re lucky enough to get Nova as your guide you’ll have an unforgettable time.

Perfect afternoon - Could not have asked for more from a whale watching experience. We saw humpbacks and orcas and spent plenty of time with both. We also saw a couple of bald eagles. Marti is a great guide that walks the extra mile for customers and he managed to avoid the rain/storm that was going on in some parts of the area letting us have a nice sun show through the clouds instead. I was on the late afternoon tour which I totally recommend.

Memories to last a lifetime! - Becks was incredible and so knowledgeable! We learned so much! We were blessed with a show of 20-30 rare Big orcas and 3 humpbacks… Becks could spot the blow hole miles away! The zodiac was safe and comfortable! Highly recommend!

I hope to return for another trip! - All the staff were friendly and helpful. Captain Lief was a great driver and knowledgeable on where to find wildlife in the area. We saw seals, eagles, sea lions, humpbacks and orcas. It was great to see a company providing reusable water bottles for guests. I was solo, but I thought it was very kind that Captain Lief seated the children first to ensure they had a good view. He did this without being rude to the other guests. But best of all, he brought us back a little late to let us enjoy the breaching humpbacks a little longer. Thank you Lief! It was an amazing experience.

Great experience! - We really enjoyed our guide; she was excellent. We didn’t see any orca’s, but lots of humpback whales and sea lions. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We also felt very safe and secure, but the experience was still very thrilling.

Too few animals - Spend a lot of gasoline, but saw almost no whales and wildlife. Driver excused lack of animals with a long drive as if we appreciated that. We were there to see whales and driver didnt manage to find much, although we heard from others they saw plenty The same day/time. A more experienced whale watcher would have been good as Captain. Of cause never guarantees of seeing anything, but we where sailing fast for Four hours and not convinced The Captain communicated with others to find Wild life or had patience to look for animals
