We saw a couple of orcas, a whale, seals and a group of dolphins feeding. The only problem was ours…photos were very difficult to take as surfacing and blowing of the orcas and whale were often only 1 second. Great boat and crew and an amazing experience.

The Captain really knew where to take us. Brilliant being able to get sight of Orka’s/Great Whale, Sea Lyons, & seals. Much more than I could hope to see. Also on board was a Naturalist, who was able to answer so many questions.
Sadly I can’t post some wonderful photos - didn’t have a camera that could show the experience justice. The area, where the trips starts from - Steveston - is quite historic, and the lovely gentleman who was there to bring us to the area from the city was so very knowledgeable. And gave us so much information…..

The most memorable part was seeing the lovely whale family that was awesome. Ken did an awesome job of telling us who was, who and how you could tell the difference between the male and the female. The second most memorable was the boat ride out cause it was a blast when you got to the waves that from the ocean coming in It was like riding a bulking branco. Ken did tell us that it is going to get bumpy and boy was he right. Seeing the different varity of seals was great but boy did the STINK.

everything is perfect the guide and captain were so nice and experienced, only thing I feel strange is the trip time they show on the website is 5h but the the trip I took was only about 3h40min, I thought the time with whales would be longer when we found them but it was only about 20min and we went back. It should be more time or we can search for anything else then make the trip close to 5h.

After doing some online research, I determined this company would be the perfect one to host my SO and I for his bday. We cannot thank the team enough for such a great experience! We were able to see bald eagles, seals, sea lions, and a pod of orca whales. The naturalist was beyond knowledgeable and we specifically enjoyed going out in the zodiac for the full experience.

The initial day we had set needed to be canceled due to wind. They rebooked us for the next day right before we flew home and it was amazing. Saw orcas, grey whales, eagles, and sea lions. Definitely an amazing experience.

The whole experience was fantastic, from pickbup at our hotel, check in at the harbour and the tour itself.
We were out for over four hours and saw grey whale and followed a family of Orca before returning via a harem of sea lions.
Julia was a fab guide, providing so much information on our sightings and the habits of marine life in the area. Julia really made our trip.
And a shout out to Rick our captain who put us right where we could watch the whales.
Couple of notes - 1. the tour company provide great waterproof jackets in all sizes 2. You might want to take a snack but we were given water and an energy bar by the team which was unexpected and great.
Overall a great trip and we thought excellent value for money.

Out on the water for over 4 hours. Beautiful weather and calm seas. We saw grey whale, followed a family of orcas and viewed basking sea lions. Really great trip with knowledgeable guide called Julia. She identified the family of orca whales from anvextensive catalogue and provided great insight for the whole trip.
Brilliant afternoon out and would highly recommend along with the downtown hotel pick up which was great value.

This place is great! We saw a family of orcas, harbor seals, stellar sea lions, and bald eagles. It includes your transportation to and from the boat. It says it’s 3-5 hours. The excursion for us was 4.5 then 50 minutes to and from transportation. If you are thinking this will be 3 hours, it’s probably best that it’s not. We thought of maybe doing this and science world today, and unfortunately science world was closed when we got back. All in all it’s a great trip. Just don’t expect it to only be the minimum amount of time.
