I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about this whale watch!Their captains are fully capable of every type of ocean condition and try their best to give the smoothest ride possible. They are also very good at maintaining distance and giving the whales enough space.The naturalists are so friendly, so amazing, and so incredibly knowledgeable about the whales. I’m a whale nerd myself, and I always pick up a few fun facts or stories from them.This is my favorite whale watch in British Columbia. Ethical, educational, and fun! Never a bad day with these guys, even on those no-sightings days. 10/10 would recommend.

Took my family out on a summer's day and we had a fantastic time. Even on a hot day, the trip is nice and cool. We saw killer whales, eagles, seals and sea lions. The boats move fast and with choppy water we bounced a lot. I personally found that enjoyable. I recommend wearing sunscreen and sunglasses if they weather is nice and definitely bring something light to eat and drink. The staff were wonderful and knowledgable. Taking photos is a bit of a challenge but if you have a good camera with a zoom lens you can take some great shots.

Amazing experience.We went on a 4 hour RIB tour, saw our first Orca within 30 mins and pretty much continously from then on. Had a great experience with knowledgeable and friendly guides and skipper, also got a rare close encounter when an orca circled our boat for about ten minutes.

We had a fabulous afternoon in the open boat, so close to the wild life. The boat felt very safe and was very exhilarating! Our expert was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and friendly. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Fantastic time with Allie, our guide, and Tino, the captain. Allie is very knowledgeable, not only about the whales, but all other wildlife that we saw on our tour. We saw so many whale breaches, also saw them celebrate after having a successful hunt for the family! it was an amazing adventure, and would highly recommend. Thank you Allie and Tino for an absolutely unforgettable day!

An incredible experience where we had the chance to see a family of orcas, along seals / sea lions and a few beautiful birds. It definitely wouldn’t have been the same without our guide Carmen and our capitaine Tino. Also, really respectful of the animals and their environment. I recommend ♥️

Excellent! The staff love whales & wildlife and are very knowledgeable. You'll have a great trip.Have done both covered boat & zodiac. Both are great, but you can keep out of the weather & avoid the survival suit in the covered boat.

We went on our tour March 15 2023 and it was the most amazing experience. I wish I could remember the name of our guide but she was extremely knowledgeable and kind. We saw what they called a sea party"

The boat ride was around 4 hours return on a winter's day. We saw killer whales, seals, sea lions, bald eagles and a variety of different birds. I think around the 1.5 hour mark was when we saw the killer whales. It was so cute seeing the killer whales breach the waters and hearing them speak on the microphones. The experience was unforgettable.To prepare for this trip, make sure you wear warm gloves, thermals tops and pants, a wind breaker, a face mask or balaclava and warm shoes. It gets really cold on the boat, with the ocean wind blasting in your face. The company does provide hand warmers, visor/goggles, gloves (but they are thin) and a one piece floating suit with a hoodie but it won't be enough to keep you warm, so make sure you dress for cold conditions.
