Amazing opportunity to see a couple of pods of transient whales. Sheila and Phil were great and had a lot of knowledge of the area and the orcas. Seemed to be very eco-conscious, even turning around to pick up a balloon that was floating in the water.
Change in location.

I thought I booked this out of Anacortes as advertised. There is an operation out of Anacortes and the whole boat crew was transferred from Anacortes. We had to take a ferry to orcas island and it made for a very long day that was costly and not expected.

Chaz was a great captain- his enthusiasm to find the orcas was contagious. My adult daughter and I had so much fun and saw many orcas. The rainy weather did not detract from the fun. Having an indoor option on the boat was nice, but we still enjoyed most of our trip outside in the elements.
Travel Nurse Friendly! :)

Travel nurses- this was so fun to do even solo!! They were so friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable! My phone actually died before we saw any whales, but it was so nice to really take it all in from my own eyes and not from behind a screen! Captain Brock and Tiffany were wonderful and helped us see so many cool things. We got to see two killer whales take down a seal right off the back of the boat!!
I would highly recommend...

Great tour. Saw a few Orcas within the first hour and followed them for another hour. We also saw exotic game at the private island, seals, and sea lions. The guides were friendly and informative.
