5.00It was a great trip and we saw whales which was really exciting. The crew members were really friendly and me and my mom were really happy with the whole trip. What I would recommend is to bring a water resistant jacket because you can get really wet on top of the boat.

3.00Frustrating to see only fins of killer whales from afar even if the trip was well organized. Expensive for the shot

5.00Whales not guaranteed but it won’t be from a lack of trying. Our tour was Mid May and a gloomy grey day. Captain did find a pod of 4 transient whales known to the area. We had a great time watching from inside the warm dry cabin with Brier our naturalist guide and killer whale guru. She interacted with everyone including the smaller children on the boat. Full of facts and very helpful with everything else.
The crew was exceptional...
