Absolutely fantastic experience

5.0This was an unbelievably great experience. We saw lots of Orcas and several Humpbacks, and they came right up to the boat. Lots of sea lions too. The boat was great, very clean and spacious and not too packed. Richard and Sandy did a great job starting us off and taking control of the boat, and it was smooth sailing. Shoutout to Reid who is an absolute superstar - her enthusiasm for the whales and wildlife was so infectious and she did an amazing job, she gave us so much interesting information and made sure nobody missed anything they wanted to see. Michael also took some amazing photos and did a great job too - and getting the photos by email for free later in the day is a fantastic touch. A fantastic company with great staff and a truly wonderful day. I plan to look back at these photos for many years to come and remember a special day.
Amazing , best crew and boat , unforgettable day!!!

5.0Great experience! Wonderful crew and captain. Very comfortable clean boat , refreshments offered were very much appreciated in a blustery day . Captain and first mate worked hard to get us as close as allowed to see whales. Several humpbacks, sea lions one adorable sea otter. Tons of birds . The pictures taken for us was cherry on top ! I tried to just soak in the beauty and experience. Highly recommend this experience
Orcas and more orcas!

5.0Exceptional experience! We saw numerous orcas and humpbacks as well as other wildlife! Perfect viewing from the various decks or inside through the big windows. Lindsay and Sandy were great at positioning the boat for success, and our naturalists, Reid, Michael and Aleesia were incredible storytellers and made the trip a great experience. We would definitely book again! Thank you!
