A Must Do! - The day was beautiful for so many ways. The weather, the city and most of all Bill-our captain, Ryan and Liam. Ryan is so knowledgeable about the whales. He has had so many interactions with them, that he understands their movements and actions. Great job by all of you!!

Incredible experience. - An incredible trip. We spent two hours in the midst of multiple pods of whales, several breaching around the boat. Stellar sea lions up close and noisy on our way back to harbour. Great crew, Liam, Kristen and Bill, very educational, highly recommend.

Bucket list trip! - Our whale watching trip was incredible! Our guides Briar and Liam were very knowledgeable. Seeing orcas in the wild has been a dream of mine for a long time and share the experience with my 13yr old daughter was so special. Added bonus of being able to download Briar’s photos for free after the trip.

Brilliant experience - Brilliant afternoon whale watching, dream come true experience. Booked at tourist information office in Victoria. All the crew are very knowledgeable about the whales and sea lions that we saw. Everyone has plenty of time to get plenty of pictures, as not high season plenty of space to move around. Would put it on must do list for anyone spending a few days on Vancouver Island

Very Kind to Special Needs Family - Our family had a wonderful time. We were able to see a ton of humpback whales...some even coming up pretty close to the boat. The staff were knowledgeable and you could tell were just as excited to see so much whale action! The interior of the boat was warm and dry, and the outside exciting! We took our two autistic boys with us, who can have some difficulties with waiting, but the staff were very accommodating and kind and we felt very welcome even with a few hiccups when we were first boarding the boat (our one son was loudly protesting the wait to board). Sometimes it can be difficult for our family to enjoy activities out in the real world without a lot of judgement....it is wonderful when we are given some grace and patience. I know both of my boys (especially my nonverbal 11 year old) truly enjoyed the ride and seeing the whales! It was an amazing experience we are so happy to have been able to have. Thank you!

Fun afternoon - We saw minki and humphback whales and seals. The staff were very helpful. The boat is great for all weather as we had some rain and we could still see them thru the windows. I really wanted to see orcas but nature I’d never the same every day.

Incredible experience - A fabulous experience with professional staff who were very knowledgeable and just brilliant. One member of the team took photos with a top end camera that they share with everyone on the trip which enabled us to just look and take in the majestic whales and other sea life. It was an incredible time and thankfully calm waters, to be near the humpback whales, seals, sea lions, porpoise and birds. If you need a whale watching tour, this company is who to go with.
