    Well organised zodiac trip with enthusiastic and knowledgeable Captain George. We spotted humpbacks, close to the vessel, killer whales and sea lions hunting fish. George shared his photos with the group. A highlight of our holiday. Easy to find starting point, close to the Express Hotel / Tourist Office and 100 yards from shuttle bus drop off point. Thank you.

    A thrilling adventure and very worthwhile. Appreciated the suits, hats, gloves that kept us warm. A wonderful view of orcas and humpback whales. The sea lions were very entertaining. Mark, our captain, was very engaging and informative about these magnificent creatures.

    What a great experience. If you headed to Victoria, take the time to see the whales. Our captain was well connected and got tips from ferry boat captains and other sources regarding where to see some whales. We saw 2 pods of Orcas and a humpback whale. He took us to see seals. They were not only lounging on the rocks but in the water near us. Wear sunscreen.

    Great morning out on the Pacific Ocean. Captain George is the topman, knowledgeable and informative; we saw killer whales, a humpback whale, sea lions and even a sea otter. Had a really fun time.
