Had a wonderful time and saw two large male orca’s! The owner even went through all the trouble to give us all the details on which bus to take since we weren’t staying in Downtown Vancouver! He even picked us up afterwards and brought is to the docks! A class service!

Der Transfer zur Bootstour (Mike) war der wohl beste Transfer, den man sich vorstellen kann. Es war ein stetiger E-Mailkontakt vorhanden. Der Transfer dort hin war schnell, Mike hatte uns alle Sehenswürdigkeiten an denen wir vorbei gefahren sind erklärt. Da wir beim Einsteigen in den Wagen ein Handy verloren hatten ist Mike dann nochmals zum Hotel gefahren um das Handy zu suchen. Das war mehr als zuvorkommend und ich hätte das ehrlicherweise gar nicht erwartet (handy wurde sogar gefunden). Die Tour an sich war sehr informativ und wir konnten 1 std mit den orcas verbringen. Bis auf 200m kommt man an sie heran. Alle auf der Tour waren super nett und kompetent. Das nötige Fachwissen war auch vorhanden. Alles in Allem war es einfach nur super und ich würde es jedem empfehlen.
