More than Expected

So much fun! We went to see whales, and we did! But we didn't anticipate how much fun the ride would be! Flying over the waves - everyone laughing and enjoying the experience. Topped off with watching some humpbacks -seals -an Eagle - Sea Lions and the views. Spending the day on the water in the sun with such incredible views was something we won't soon forget. Highly recommend.

Fun time and a great company

Published on Jun, 2024

Had a wonderful day, knowledgeable guides and and saw lots of wildlife, humpbacks, eagles, seals, sealions and more. No orcas on this occasion but this is one of many trips with this company and we've seen them every other time. The boat ride was fun too and hit some fun swell, it's like an amazing tour of Vancouver harbour, Howe Sound, whale watching and jet boat in one!

Fantastic day whale watching!

Published on Jun, 2024

We had a fantastic trip out whale watching and were amazed to see a pod of orcas and some humpbacks! Our children loved it too. We chose a semi-covered vessel given the ages of the little ones and that worked really well with plenty of space still to stand on the viewing deck and the side windows were lifted fully opened when we were watching the whales too. Our guide and the captain were great and knew exactly where to go and gave us lots of knowledge about the whales and the plight of these beautiful creatures. Hilary the guide was clearly so passionate about protecting the whales and other marine life and that really came across. Communication with the team throughout the booking process through to the trip itself was fantastic. Thanks for the memories!

Beth was an excellent captain and Joe was very knowledgeable. The whole experience was really good and I would definitely recommend it. On a sunny day, make sure to wear sun cream

Great family fun!

Was an awesome experience! The crew did an excellent job of finding the whales and navigating around the whales to get some great pictures.
