Incredible Zodiac trip to see orcas! - An amazing trip with Mark. He is a testament to the company and the industry. He made sure we all saw the only orcas known about today in the area, and we had a fabulous, albeit, long trip up into Georgia Strait. He was knowledgeable about the individual animals and their ecology, and he was immensely skilled at managing the strait conditions on the way home ( one or two waves!! ). 10/10! Thanks POW !

Amazing Adventure with Capt. Sam - Sam is the best! It was a windy day and POW offered to reschedule us or put us on another type of boat but my kids and I were ready for an awesome adventure. It was crazy fun, the kids had a blast and Sam was an amazing captain that ensured we all had a great time. We saw a Humpback whale, more than a dozen Sealions, a big pod of Orca's. Great great trip. This was our second time doing a Zodiac trip and highly recommend it.

Amazing - Amazing experience and was so happy to see Orca whales. The captain was able to locate a pod of killer whales soon after arriving to the San Juan Islands.

Wonderful Adventure - We had an incredible time whale watching, and our guide George made the entire experience unforgettable. From the moment we set out, George’s knowledge and enthusiasm were contagious. He knew exactly where to go, shared fascinating facts about the local marine life, and had a great sense of humor that kept the whole group engaged and smiling. We were lucky enough to spot several whales breaching. George made sure everyone had a good view and was always ready to answer questions or point out interesting behavior. His respect for the animals and the environment was also really impressive. If you’re considering a whale watching trip, I highly recommend going with George—you won’t be disappointed. It was the highlight of our trip!

Great time whale watching! - I took my teen daughter out on their zodiac whale watching tour. It was looking like we would not see any whales, but close to the end we saw a pod of 8 or 9, and then another 2. It was great! The staff were very friendly and professional. They kept us very safe and worked hard to find the whales for us. I would recommend.

Exciting whale watching trip! - The journey in the zodiac was exciting and exhilarating! We really enjoyed stopping at Race Rocks to view the seals, sea lions and sea birds. The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and a very able sea man. The only reason I’m giving this 4 out of 5 is because we did the same trip 22 years ago when the restrictions were much more lenient and we could almost touch the whales! The dog at the office was a definite plus!!
