Hi Jo, Thank you so much for your kind words. I will be sure to pass on to the crew you had that they are doing a great job and we are happy they were able to enhance your experience out on the water with us,

Super Whale Trip!

Great captain! And Britt was very knowledgeable! We saw multiple pods. They truly did what it took to provide a fantastic afternoon.

Medical experience

Lori_P, Sep 2025

This was truly one of the most exhilarating adventures I’ve ever experienced! We not only saw humpback whales, but thanks to the captain’s communication with other local whale-watching boats, he took us quite a distance so we could also see a pod of orcas. It was absolutely magical—a once-in-a-lifetime memory for sure. Julia, our wildlife expert, was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful throughout the journey, making the experience even more special. I HIGHLY recommend this company if you want to see whales!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Hi Lori! Wow what a fantastic review, we are so so so glad you came out with us and had such a great time. Spotting both humpbacks and orcas in a single outing is always something special, and we’re glad the teamwork out on the water helped make it happen. Thanks again for the kind words and recommendation!

Excellent experience. Saw...

Patricia_K, Sep 2025

Excellent experience. Saw many humpback whales. Lots of fin slapping and breaching. Nicole did a great job of explaining whale behavior and migration patterns

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Hi Patricia, thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review. Sounds like you got to see some incredible behaviours. Thank you for coming out with us!

Once in a Lifetime experience

Took a bit to find them but Wow! Whale breaches (2), flipper slaps, fluking so many times ive lost count, bugging the boat. Saw a young sea lion nursing its mom.
