Trip,of a lifetime! - Truly an incredible experience in every way. Rubin provides deep local knowledge of the area and wildlife, with a high level of competency and fun! Don’t miss out!

Whale Watching Experience - Saw Ocas and Humpback Whales and seals and sea lions and many birds. It was fun! It was in a zodiac.

Whale of a time! - I have been out so many times with the team at Wild Waterways with family and friends. We are never disappointed by the beauty and extraordinary nature of the north of Vancouver Island. Whales, dolphins, bears, sea lions, bird life, tidal experiences....it's so magical! Thanks again for another wonderful day!

Fantastic - Rupert was our guide. He was very kind and knowledgeable. We saw lots of wildlife, including dolphins, eagles, sea lions and orcas. It was a wonderful trip. Definitely dress warm with layers. Even with the flotation suits we were quite chilly. Rupert made us hot chocolate and coffee and provided a snack. We got a bathroom break on Stuart Island. Highly recommend.

Breathtaking views, majestic animals, exciting and fun boat trip! - I've seen plenty of migrating whales along the California coast before, but seeing them up close doing what whales do was a whole new experience for me. The setting between Quadra and Cortes islands is absolutely breathtaking, and then seeing the whales spouting and diving with that backdrop was incredible. In addition to the whales, we saw sea lions and Biggs orcas (my first time seeing orcas!). Captain Jen is an outstanding guide. She is intimately acquainted with the weather, tides, her boat, and the individual animals families too, easily recognizing them by their tail flukes. Originally our group was going on another adventure, but weather conditions made us turn back (always trust the captain!) and she gave us the option for this itinerary instead which turned out to be fantastic, definitely a highlight of my time in Canada. The boat is a very comfortable Zodiac, and every guest wears a full survival suit, which are warm and cozy and waterproof, which is very welcome as it can be windy and wet out of the water. A delicious homemade lunch of sandwiches, hot beverages, and cookies was also served during a break at Cortes Island. And even just sitting there eating lunch we saw jellyfish and birds. Jen is passionate about her work, and has extensive knowledge on the ecosystem, and an enormous amount of respect for the animals. If you're considering a wildlife excursion that is highly professional, ethical, but also exciting, personable and fun for people of all ages, you won't regret going with Wild Waterways. I know I'll be going out again next time I am in the area!

Another Fantastic Excursion! - Rueben is a fantastic guide! We covered a lot of area in a short time and were able to follow a family of Northern Resident Orcas for a long time. We were able to experience tidal rapids and get close ups of sea lions wrestling. We also had a couple of humpback encounters. I’ve done a full day with WW before (great trip) and didn’t expect to see as much, but I was impressed -even in the drizzle. We’ll be back!

There was an issue with... - There was an issue with the Viator system synching with the company's reservation system, but luckily they still had space when I called them! We did have to start an hour later. We saw orcas!

Highly recommend, this is a great company to go with and we try and bring everyone out with them when they visit! - As locals, we are lucky to have a number of great companies to go adventuring with, but there's something really special about going out with Wild Adventures Waterways. The boats are comfortable, the scenery is stunning, and don't even get me started on the cookies! The experience itself, impossible to describe, especially after you have shared time with the wildlife. The operators are knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about helping others experience the magic of our area. Don't even think about it...book a tour today. And really, book the full day, you won't regret having more time out there!

Breathtaking - Traveling up through the Discovery Islands absolutely breathtaking, the experience of Tidal Rapids and the eagles is an experience like no other, then humpbacks, bird island super cool and the Northern Resident Orcas. An amazing day with an awesome captain. Excellent experience. This is my 3rd trip with them and highly recommend.

A Terrific Afternoon - We spent a wonderful afternoon hosted by Jenefer who tailored our adventure to our requests and cared for our needs. We saw the wildlife as promised and enjoyed a comfortable ride. I highly recommend this trip. Daphne F
