    Lovely experience for my husband and I. We saw a family of orcas and 2 humpbacks. Our naturalist was amazing as well, she was very passionate about her job and kept us very engaged as she told us about the whales and surrounding areas.

  • Friendly, knowledgeable and respectful towards wildlife

    Friendly and knowledgeable staff. We saw orcas and they kept a respectable distance away from them while close enough to be in awe. Would recommend.

    They are not at the dock to get you, if you schedule this on your own. You therefore have to schedule this on your own. Victoria is not within a quick walking distance (30 min). Taxi is the most reasonable because they will get you closure to your exact spot. Where the bus for the same $$ drops you off at a location and then you still have to find your excursions. Otherwise they do know their whales and we saw many. You are on a boat with an enclosure but it is still windy and waves can be big that splash water.

  • Whales in the ocean!
