The crew is very kind, helpful and professional. The Zodiac ride is nice- we had our “portion” of fresh air and wind-in-the-hair-feeling🙂 And we were so lucky to see a grey whale, four orcas and some porpoise… We appreciated very much how consciously everybody acted relating to the animals. Big thanks to our guides Alex and Josh for this great experience!

Made to feel very welcome by everyone and was even able to get on an earlier trip which suited our plans much better as my husband didn’t join me in the zodiac. Tyler was great although for a long time we thought it wasn’t going to be our lucky day. After an exhilarating ride and a lot of searching with no succeed it was time to head back.. Then a call came on sbd despite being nearly out of time and some way from the orca sighting Tyler turned back and we were lucky enough to find and watch 2 orcas for quite some time. Not many would have done this !!! We arrived back an hour late having seen the orca and a group of seals !! Thank you Tyler !!

Liam was a great host and gave us plenty of information on the wildlife and clearly cared about them. Unfortunately we had a group which seemed to be in a rush and pressured Liam to go back slightly earlier. We missed a few whales because of this.
