Amazing boat trip to visit our orca friends

Published on Oct, 2024

Amazing crew. Amazing views. And the naturalist was so informative & took the time to check in and educate everyone on a personal level. It was the end of the season so I know we didnt see all we could see but they made sure we saw something!

Watched Orcas hunting! Changed my life!

Published on Sep, 2024

Our guides were super knowledgable and made it a very fun, educational, and comfortable experience. The whales are incredible to see in person- majestic and powerful! We really appreciated that this company is very conscious of their impact on the whales and are using best practices to not disturb them. They also collaborate with NOAA to contribute to research, so it feels great to support them! Highly recommend! (Just make sure you've got a car, rental car, or taxi service set up ahead of time, as the launch site is quite far from the ferry landing.)

Incredible Experience!

Published on Sep, 2024

Once in a lifetime experience!!! Besides seeing Orcas the views are gorgeous and the crew was very informative and friendly. Hannah and Sam were working on the tour, I can't remember the name of the captain but he was wonderful as well!

Orca's in the Wild

Published on Sep, 2024

Seeing Orcas! Even though there weren't that many and it was a cold day, our crew didn't give in until the whales were found. Great trip! Dress warm :)

Incredible

Published on Sep, 2024

Incredible experience. The crew was friendly offering to take photos of us. My in-laws were with us and had difficulty walking. The captain went the extra mile to make sure that even though they were inside he could still see the whale and orcas from his seat. We also experienced an orca hunt and kill. Absolutely amazing.
