Best experience! Best team! - Best whales watching experience ever! From booking to the end of the 4-hour cruise on a perfectly small zodiac. Jen, our captain/guide, is awesome. She managed to reroute the plan so we could see 9 humpback whales, 8 orcas, seals, sea lions, porpoises, 1 dolphin…. Great bonus, she speaks French ;) My wife, my sons, and I enjoyed this tour so much. This company and team are passionate. We strongly recommend them!

Great day out! - We booked a private boat tour for a family birthday celebration, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. Our captain, Jen, was outstanding – knowledgeable, professional, and experienced. She also brought such a fun and friendly energy to the day, making everyone feel welcome and relaxed. The scenery was breathtaking – we cruised through stunning landscapes and were lucky enough to spot all kinds of wildlife along the way. Whether we were learning interesting facts from Jen or just soaking in the peaceful beauty of the water, every moment was special. This was a day our family will remember forever. If you’re considering a boat tour, don’t hesitate – go with Jen. You won’t regret it!
