Great team on the boat

Published on Nov, 2024

Check-in was fast and painless. We were boarded efficiently and with good humour. Liam, Tyler and Brad were great hosts. Liam is a recent marine biologist graduate and so was able to add a unique and sympathetic perspective to the local whale-watching industry. Both he and Tyler peppered the tour with interesting facts about the local fauna and flora. Although he was captaining the boat, Brad was also great at shouting out to those inside, where the next sighting was likely to be. We saw lots of activity from humpback whales and it was helpful that Liam takes pictures on the tour to be shared with the group later. This meant we could watch these magnificent creatures with our own eyes rather than through a lens. We went out in blue sky, encountered fog on the trip but still had some spectacular sightings including a variety of seals and sea lions. We were looked after by a great team and would not hesitate to recommend this company and tour!

A Must Do!

Published on Oct, 2024

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.

Published on Oct, 2024

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.

Wonderful 3 hours

Published on Oct, 2024

Bucket list trip!

Published on Oct, 2024

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.
