Fantastic Wildlife Zodiac Tour - This was the best tour we’ve ever done! We saw so many humpback whales and seals! Our guide Jarek was super friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable of the area and wildlife. We would do this trip again in a heartbeat!

Amazing - We had a fabulous time. We were lucky to encouter an orca family (2 adults and a little one) right after we left the harbour. So lucky for us. Our guide was amazing: she knew so much and never got tired of answering our questions. Also saw some whales, seals and sea lions. And a glimps of a porpoise. Sunny day and calm waters. A perfect trip.

Another amazing trip at Campbell River! - This was our second whale watching trip with Campbell River Whale Watching. Our guide was Jarek, and he was very knowledgeable and answered lots of questions from us. He was also very respectful of the whales we encountered. We had an amazing time seeing over 20 whales! Lots of orcas and humpbacks. We were extremely lucky with the conditions as the water was so flat and calm for the majority of the trip. Jarek made sure everyone on the boat had the best view of the whales, and made sure we moved on between sightings so we saw the best variety and didn’t spend too long with the animals. It was great to debrief as the end and see what areas we covered on the boat. Would highly recommend this company for whale watching, it was another amazing experience. Thanks Jarek!

Phenomenal Whale Watching Experience - Outstanding afternoon on the water! We saw about 20 whales, including Orcas and Humpbacks. Our Captain Jarek was phenomenal! Very informative, fun, and just a truly caring guide. Our day started with a seamless check in experience and ended with so many memories! Can’t thank Jarek and Campbell River Adventures enough!

Amazing experience for whole family - We had an amazing experience as a family of four on the 8:00 a.m. departure and Bex was our tour guide 👌🤩 we saw over seven humpback whales in 3 locations, a group of Orcas, sea lions, seals, jumping silver salmon and learned so much about the beautiful creatures within the Salish Sea. They provided warm gear for every single member of our family from the young age of 8 years old all the way up to our middle-aged parents. Highly recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 they're also a number of really great places to have lunch immediately after within walking distance.

Amazing Tour, Great Information, Saw Lots of Humpback Whales and Pod of Orcas, Our Guide Loral was Amazing! - Our guide Loral was amazing! Very knowledgeable and friendly! We were able to see a pod of orcas in the first 30 minutes. We saw humpback whales the most, at least 10 or more. They provided cold water and homemade granola bars. If you are going on the tour in the summer or on a hot day; I would recommended wearing lightweight clothes since you have to wear a long sleeve and long pant suit for safety. As the boat gets moving, it does cool down with wind. The water was very calm and great way to see all the little islands around Campbell River as well. I would highly recommended this tour when in Campbell River. I would definitely come back and do this tour again!

Beautiful and educational afternoon - What a treat in their covered boat allowing a person to walk about trying to catch the best shot of the Orca T90 family along with the Humpbacks, sea lions and seals. The naturalist was knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about her whales. Cap’n John regaled us with history including his experiences having grown up in the area. Highly recommend and I am certain to return.
