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!!

It was a rainy cold day but the crew made us feel welcome and used the indoor area to get us all together and talk. We saw beautiful Orcas and a big bonus is they encourage you to just enjoy and watch with your eyes and they take pictures that are uploaded and shared for FREE! We had a great time.
