Great whale watching experience - Such an amazing whale watching experience! The team were so friendly and knowledgeable. The Naturalists Michael, Rhiannon & Andrei had a lot of expertise on all the wildlife we saw, recognising different pods of orcas just from pictures and sharing so many great facts. The captains Francois & Lindsay were incredible at their jobs, always checking in with the group and making the everyone feel safe. All up one of the best wildlife experiences and bang for your buck! Highly recommend

An Excellent Time with Fantastic Guides - This was a fantastic experience! The guides were great. Rhiannon was knowledgeable and very kind and charming with my two year old daughter. Andrei shared a lot of information about the area with us as well as guide information. While we didn't get to interact with Michael as much, he was very helpful and informative, as well. The Captain François did an excellent job of keeping everyone safe - we even managed to see two Orca pods!
