An Unforgettable Whale-Watching Adventure! - This was an incredible experience! Our captain was fantastic—so knowledgeable and full of amazing facts about the different types of whales. We were incredibly lucky to see three different species during our trip. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Amazing tour and great captain! - I went on this tour solo and two young couples from England were part of the group. Captain Ian (I may have the wrong name) was great, knowledgeable, and passionate about the topic. It was very cold, which I expected but hadn’t prepared well for. We saw sea lions, eagles, an otter, and humpback whales. It was amazing and would recommend to anyone interested! I didn’t take any pictures but the experience itself was worth it! Thank you for an exhilarating experience!

Awesome adventure! - We went out on a zodiac for a watch December 2nd. The other people who booked never showed up so it was our incredible guide Tyler and my wife and I. The zodiac boats are so fast and fun. The boats are close to the water and can get to the best sightings quickly. It's is a different experience from a traditional big craft. Tyler, our guide, was so happy to spend the afternoon with us(it was our anniversary). He was very knowledgeable in the area and its ecosystem, as well as species of wildlife available to see. We went out in the high hopes of seeing orcas in the wild. We ended having an incredible experience! Humpbacks, sea lions , otters, bald eagles and we came upon an amazing spot to view orcas. We saw a baby as well which was really cool memory for all of us. Gives hope for the prolonged life of threatened wildlife. My wife and I are grateful for the experience Tyler and the company provided us.

Whaletastic - What a truly fantastic 3 hours. Captain Ian was very knowledgeable speaking about all the wildlife we saw. Obviously the high lights being the orcas & Humpbacks. We saw 2 pods of orcas and a couple of humpbacks. The Zodiac boats are fun and I felt very save the whole of the 3 hours. We were very lucky with the weather and the ocean was so calm. We wore plenty of layers and then was also given a floatation suit to wear. Thank you so much Captain Ian and Molly in bookings.

Wow, what an experience! - I highly recommend the whale watching tour by Zodiac. Our group had Kate who was excellent in navigating the areas for sightings of humpbacks, killer whales, seals and sea lions. We were able to capture some great photos! Kate’s knowledge and commentary was very interesting. Our group had such a fantastic time as there was a lot of activity to be seen on the day. A truly memorable experience.

Exhilarating Whale Watching Tour - We were lucky enough to be on a Zodiac Whale Watching Tour with operator Kate, who went above and beyond to give us the best experience we could have, seeing multiple humpbacks,orca’s,seals and sea lions. The whole experience was well organized, safe, easy to do and exhilarating. Thanks Kate
