Sea Breeze Whale Watching was lovely. Cameron was exceptional!!! The driver truly knows how to navigate choppy waters. I enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the snow capped mountains while watching out for Orca pods. We saw a few juvenile pods, plenty of sea lions, seals and several bald eagles. I know that seeing a breach is a rare occurrence, so I went in hopeful but understanding that we probably wouldn’t. Cameron was knowledgeable and shared as much information as possible. My friend has severe motion sickness even in cars, so we expected her to have a rough time. The staff was attentive to her offering bags (just in case) and ginger candy. If you are someone that’s prone to motion sickness. I’d say take some Dramamine and possibly wear the motion, sickness bands. Overall, a really great experience.

We paid good money to see orcas no orcas . We did see some whales. The environmentalists stood in the viewing areas and took pictures with their personal cameras . We paid you to see the whales You paid them to show them too us why where they taking up viewing areas? They never offered to help you take a shot with your camera Very disappointed with your service sorry your people need more customer service training

Just let you surprise and it will be a great experience. Enjoy the sea, the wind and the rest will follow.
Thanks to the well prepared team of Seabreeze Adventure, who gave us a very good inside view to the nature and the sealife and gave us the feeling that there will be whales to see on our Journey.
They were right!

The length of the tour was perfect at four hours, very organized, prompt and educational. We were fortunate to have a very knowledgeable tour guide.
Our captain tried very hard to get us as close as possible to the whales while respecting their space and took us to see other wildlife in the area. In addition, the weather was spectacular and we had an amazing day!
Time and money well spent. I'd highly recommend this tour to someone that wants to do a whale-watching excursion.

Four hours total, saw over a dozen humpback whales and juvenile male seals. Great information provided by our naturalist guide.
Janet_R, Jul 2025
We lucked out and saw orcas and humpbacks and a family of eagles in one nest! It was absolutely incredible! Our naturalist and captain worked synergistically to ensure we had the best experience ever!!!!

If you don’t want to get wet, do the partially enclosed boat. Great staff, fun facts, humor and I felt safe the entire time.

We had the great fortune to see many Orcas, even close up as well as a few Humpback whales. The Naturalist, Grace, was enthusiastic and informative. Additionally we saw a Sea Lion and many Harbor Seals.
Our only preference would have been to go a little slower on the boat ride as the speed seemed to create a bone jarring ride and the Naturalist be mike’d up so we could hear her if we weren’t able to be right in front of her. In the end this is a DO NOT MISS adventure from a great company!

Been on the boat for a total of 4 hours. 3 Orca fins seen and 4 whale tails. The privacy of the animals is well guarded because the distance that is kept is considerable. The guide was downright friendly and enthusiastic. Halfway through the sea became rougher making the ride back anything but an easy ride. In the end, you see very little and it quickly became boring. It hasn't been worth the money to us.
