We had a lovely time on our trip! We were running late due to a delayed ferry and the staff were so patient and accommodating. They were super friendly and knowledgeable and knew exactly where to go to make sure we got to see as much wildlife as possible. They were really kind and even let my 6 year old go in the captains cabin to get a good view while it rained! Would definitely recommend!

great guides, they did their absolute best to get us opportunities to see whales and then drove to see pods of orcas, which was a gamble a bit off track of schedule, but well worth it. Got lots of great information about the whales and the company seemed great and like they really cared about whales. A BIG bonus was that one of the guides took photos with a great camera for our tour. That way, I didn't have to worry so much about getting the perfect shot, I could enjoy seeing the whales and access my photos a few days later online, free of charge!

Whalewatching from Victoria. Fantastic trip! Enthousiastic guides with a lot of knowledge. We were very lucky to meet with a humpbackwail that came up (very close) to the boat. It was a dream come true! We also saw seals, sea lions and a American bold eagle. A GREAT TRIP!!
