Great Time seeing the Orcas

5.00We had a great tour with our guide Raj on June 15. Raj’s original plan was to go to an area where humpbacks were feeding, but the route going against the wind proved to be too rough. He put safety first and changed the route, which seemed like the right call from my layperson’s perspective. Instead, he located a family of 3 Orcas that included a large male named Thor. We had a great view of these whales for about 40 minutes as they moved along, and Raj’s knowledge and enthusiasm about these whales really added to the experience. Everything about this trip was smooth, including the check-in and the donning of survival suits. Definitely recommend this outfit.
Mark was an amazing tour...

5.00By far the best whale watching tour. Our captain was very knowledgeable and patient. He would get us as close as safely to see the whales.
Excellent!

5.00This was a great experience and would definitely would want to do this again. Our guide, Michael, was very informative and it was interesting to listen to his stories and history. We had seen orcas, humpback whales and sea lions. I went with my daughter and she was trying to go again the very next day!
Good organization,...

4.00Good organization, protective clothing, boat and pilot. Everything was perfect. But I wouldn't take another zodiac next time. I think you'll see the whales better when you're higher up.
Amazing Trip!!
