Excellent tour very well organised & FREE photos that they took - Excellent tour very well organised and the young team were super confident, friendly and very knowledgeable. We booked this through our cruise ship btu they also run independent tours too. We spotted Hump, Orcas & Killer whales a busy day at sea. They also emailed us all the photos their own photographer took for FREE.

Lovely experience! - Nice experience. It was nice that we could enjoy all the animals and that Jake took the pictures for us. Within a few days we received the photos via email. The team is very friendly and know a lot about nature and animals. They share this information throughout the voyage. I would recommend them!

Went with my partner for... - Went with my partner for our anniversary trip! Jake and Ryan were very knowledgeable and passionate guides for the tour. They were also very humorous and a joy to have with us. We were able to see a bald eagle, a pair of sea otters named Waldo and Ollie, a bunch of sea lions, and also three humpback whales on the trip!

One of the best tours I’ve ever done! - The crew was friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming! We got to see a few whales, seals, sea otter, eagles and more! Although I was sad no orca showed up, I enjoyed the tour! I love that the captain often turned the boat allowing both sides to see! The hot chocolate was always a must against the cold! Big shoutout to Jake, the photographer who took amazing photos! Definitely recommend it and already thinking of going again next year!

Blown away!!! - Completely satisfied! Took the covered boat with an upper deck vs. the Kodiaks. Was worried because after I purchased it, some said the whale sightings don’t happen as often for the larger boats…BOY…were they wrong. Also, you get personal service from the knowledgeable crew on whale behavior; health and overall marine care. These guys (Ryan & Jake) made it that much more exciting! We had a “whale mugging”…means the engines are turned off because of the curiosity of a whale around our boat made us linger longer for as long as the creature wanted us to stay. The crew were even excited because they said it’s rare. They also said the fall time is when the whales are full and playful. They’ve spent the spring and summer feeding and will head back to warmer waters soon. We didn’t see orca, but had the pleasure of meeting a humpback up close. Highly recommend this trip!
