Fantastic once in a lifetime experience - What a great trip- our guide was amazing and the views of the wildlife really good. We saw orca, humpback whales, mink, bald eagles and sea lions. The provided lunch was also amazing- with chicken Caesar wrap, homemade granola bars and cookies snd dried fruit. Best lunch I have had whilst in Canada. Thank you for such a great day!

Awesome ! - What a fantastic experience Brad was very knowledgeable and planned the day to perfection making sure we had the best experience ever.
We saw the legendary orca chainsaw and his mum.
Brad then took us to the rapids where he probes his experience as a boat handler and we had the privilege of seeing 100’s of eagles feeding while the rapids threw up the fish.
Bucket list stuff for sure.
Thank you guys for the best day.
Ps lunch was amazing also. Home made produce awesome.

Magical day - Over 8hrs we rode hundreds of miles to find bears, Humpback, Orca, Bald eagle, dolphins, sea lion, and seals all against the most breathtaking landscape. I said WOW a lot! It was a day of firsts and utterly magical. Captain was excellent- very passionate about his job but also so humble about the privilege of getting to do something he loves so much. They even offset emissions by buying conservation land. Highly recommend the longer day.

Unbelievable whale watching trip..! - Our whale watching trip was absolutely amazing, all thanks to our tour guide Jarek! He was so informative and enthusiastic about the day, ensuring it was the best experience we could have! We saw a bald eagle and 2 black bears on the way and then we saw humpback whales, dolphins and of course, Orca’s! It was a special trip which we will remember forever! Everyone we spoke to who worked for the company were so friendly too!

Zodiac 8h tours: unique experience - It was a unique experience that I absolutely recommend!! We took the zodiac at 9 am and went around the Campbell River bay looking for wild animals. Our guide Becks was fantastic, professional, clear, friendly. We saw: Sea lions, seals, dolphins that did a real choreography, humpback whale (with a real jump!), killer whales, bald eagle, golden eagle. Hunting scenes and real animal wild life! Only the bears were missing and it would have been perfect. At 5 pm we returned to the port. Very good picnic lunch prepared by them. Thanks again for this experience :)

Incredible Tour! - What an incredible and memorable experience! We traveled more than 150km in some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever experienced. Saw orca almost immediately on the tour and just continued throughout the day. Humpback whales, porpoise, dolphins and sea lions too. You know it is a great tour when 8 hours goes by in a blink of an eye. We would've been happy out there for another 4.
Bex is such a great guide. She was knowledgeable and patient. She took the time to expertly answer all our questions.
This is our family's second time taking this tour and would readily book it again and again.

Zodiac tour July 6 - Stunning day on the water (July 6) with Zoe guiding us on the full day Zodiac whale watching tour. She was friendly, knowledgeable of the area and wildlife and expertly manoeuvred the zodiac so we could see orcas, humpbacks, dolphins, sea lions and seals. We covered a huge area with the zodiac and it was such a fun ride.
Top marks to the caterer - best packed vegetarian lunch I’ve ever had on a tourist experience. It included a wrap, two kinds of cookies, granola bar, (all homemade) and dried fruit.
Highly recommend this tour company. This is the third time I’ve been out with them!

Lunch with the NRKW! - Looking for a tour company that leads with their values and puts words into actions that help protect this beautiful place we call home? Call these folks.
From booking to check in, to the tour itself with our fabulous Captain Zoe was awesome.
Not often do you get to have lunch on the water in the company of the Northern Resident Killer Whales! Thanks for making sure we didn’t miss this extraordinary experience, Zoe!!!

Beautiful day - Beautiful day on board a very comfortable zodiac.
The weather was not at the rendezvous but we saw several humpback whales, sea lions, seals... unfortunately no killer whales.
Due to bad luck our boat broke down, but a new one was brought to us for us to finish the tour.
The Guide / Captain was very friendly and dynamic!
