Well worth your time! - We had a wonderful time. The staff who led the excursion were great! And we saw a humpback whale along with other marine life.

Best whale watching trip - Having a marine biologist guide (Liberty) was awesome - we learned a lot more than on other whale watching trips in the past. And we were incredibly fortunate to encounter a group of 6 mammal eating orcas in the midst of a hunt.

Great trip - Very knowledgeable crew. Didn't see that many animals, but views and weather was perfect. Did get a few good pictures.

So many whales! - What a fun and successful trip. Our captain knew where to go, did not get too close to the whales, and gave everyone ample time to watch and take photos. I've been whale watching before, but this was by far the best and most enjoyable trip I've been on. I can't wait to go again next year.

Great crew - The trip was excellent. We saw a lot of wildlife the naturalists were very knowledgeable about what we were looking at. We had the rare opportunity to see southern resident orcas, harbor seals, sea lions, bald eagles, and mouflan sheep.

Exciting and informative - Wonderful experience! We hung out around a pod of Orcas for about an hour provide ample opportunity to see them. Guide was extensively knowledgeable and friendly. We also saw harbor seals and sealions in their commonly visited areas. Being early October I was prepared for cold but we were provided with warm and waterproof coats as well. Entire trip was just under 4 hours. Go ahead and take the early and late ferries because you don't want the stress!

Captain and boat staff worked tirelessly to find orcas - I’m giving this four stars because the man who answers the phone is pretty damned rude-story about that below. The captain went out of his way yesterday to find orcas, driving 100miles around the islands in four hours, relentlessly searching, and we are eternally grateful to have been able to see these magical sentient beings. It was a beautiful family of four orcas with a new calf, and Katie filled us in on the orca research on this family and other transients, their markings, behaviors, habitat, and other information. She was very informative. We had to go into Canadian waters to see them, which was a blast in and of itself. The weather was amazing. However, the phone call we made to find the location of the meeting place was very annoying. Trip Advisor says is in Eastsound, which is on the north side of the island, and when we called about the confusing directions, the man sounded very testy when he said it was by the ferry terminal. Obviously, he’s had to do this before. So why not fix the confusing wording so you don’t get sick of telling your paying customers? We told Katie about the wording and she said, I believe prompted by someone, that “Eastsound” is essentially the whole island, and implied that isn’t a problem. Well, unless you live on the island, you’re not going to know that, of course. We get it that dealing with tourists is tedious, but this seems like an easy fix to not have to answer the same question repeatedly, and to not be rude to your customers who are just trying to get to your location. Luckily, the rude person manning the phones didn’t take away from our orca sighting shine.

Awesome day - the crew Sophia Delany and Matt where knowledgeable about the area and wildlife and got us to a male killerwhale called Cooper. crew took the time to have a talk. the jetty was a bit of a thing with low tide.

Whale Watching - The meeting place was easy to find. The crew were kind and knowledgeable. We did see humpback whales about an hour and a half into the tour on what I think was the Canada side. We were unable to find seating together as a family inside out of the cold, so we were uncomfortable for the nearly four hour duration. Maybe it would be most enjoyable in warmer months or when there will be less people onboard so a family can sit together inside. All in all it was ok.

Groupon not accepted - I missed the place on their booking site where I could redeem my Groupon 40% discount. I decided to book at full price and work out the discount with them when I arrived. They would not accept the discount so I wound up paying $180 more for my whole family just because I did not push the right button.
