Go on one of these trips - you will not be disappointed! - Superb afternoon Zodiac trip with Sam as the Skipper! Saw orca and humbacks in abundance. Sam's boat positioning for professional photography is awesome and he gave us loads of information on the whales that we saw. Go on one of these trips - you will not be disappointed!

Fun and exciting whale watching tour - Had a great time whale watching on the zodiac with Sam. He was very knowledgeable of the area and took the time to answer our many questions. Sam is a great captain and expertly got us great views of the whales without disturbing them. Was a magnificent time would recommend.

Great day out - What a fantastic experience with Marshal, we were lucky enough to see lots of humpback whales, sea lions and a sea otter. We were surprised how close up we were able to see the whales on the zodiac tour but we are so glad we took it!

So much fun!... - So much fun! Exhilarating! Sorry can’t rambler guides name😬but she was very nice and kept us informed at all times. It was a bit windy and so choppy,but she handled with ease and even made it fun. The six young ladies from Ireland had a blast and it was infectious. Saw whales, otter, and seals and sea lions. Beautiful day!

A thrilling adventure on water! - We had an incredible me time on the zodiac. It was unforgettable. The highlight was seeing the pair of orcas gliding through the water near the shore as they made their way further out. Watching them in their own habitat was humbling -they were so close, it was surreal. At one point, we all thought a nearby harbor seal was going to become lunch but he wasn’t spotted and lived another day. There were several sea lions on some rocky outcrops I wish we had spent a few minutes with. I know it’s a whale watch but these guys were beautiful and impressive to see and hear. We had a treat on the way back and got to see a Minke whale too. If you want adventure, suit up, jump in, sit back and hang on (especially if you are lucky enough to get the front). This is a fun way to view the ocean up close and if you are lucky you might catch some air as the boat slaps the waves.
