A bucket list trip - This trip was worth every penny. We based our trip to Campbell river around our plan to join this tour and it did not disappoint. As well as seeing breathtaking coastline, bald eagles, impressive houses, sea lions and having a delicious lunch, we were wowed with multiple whale sightings. Our fantastic guide Jack knew so much about the area and was proud to share it all with us. When we approached the whales, he gave them a safe distance, and we got breathtaking views of them playing, diving and breaching. Memories to last a life time. Thank you. The boat was safe, clean and confortable, and there was even a toilet on board. The lunch provided was fresh and delicious, and catered well to my daughter’s allergies.

Magical - This is a must see experience with Campbell River Whale Watching. Visiting from the UK with my bestie who lives here and who booked it for my birthday treat. Best day ever… we were incredibly lucky to see so much beautiful and breathtaking sea life, and to be accompanied by the wonderfully talented and knowledgable Jarek who was so informative and just the best guide to have on the trip. Thank you.

Taken advantage of! - I really want to give them a positive review but we feel very taken advantage of. We have reached out to complain but haven't heard back - which is very disappointing. Our goal was to see Whales and Bears on this trip. We were going to take the 4 hour Whale and Wildlife Tour but called beforehand as we had questions. The man on the phone insisted that book the longer tour (6 or 8 hour) as that was the best way to see as many animals as possible. We only wanted the 4 hour tour but we were convinced by him to take the 6 hour (more expensive) tour. For 6 hours it was just Whale Watching (as the name says), no other animals. We were SO disappointed that we paid EXTRA money for something we didn't even want - but that's what they told us to do. It was suppose to be the highlight of our trip! We were so disheartened by it, seeing as we spent so much money coming from the states just to get to Campbell River.

Expectations not met - Would give a 0.5 if possible. Had a sad experience. I understand nature is not guaranteed but on a 7.5 hour trip we had 10 minutes of wildlife. Saw no bears, no orcas, no birds except a couple of seagulls. We saw a humpback flip his tail once. We saw 3 Dalls Porpoises for 5 minutes. The guide was very nice but the trip was extremely disappointing. Came from Australia after looking at reviews. Wanted desperately to see Orcas. We spent most of the time listening about how rain was a problem, and the tides being an issue. I know there is a waiver about nature being unpredictable, but would have been good for tour to use local knowledge and partnerships to find some wildlife. Massive disappointment. The tour is called Whale Watching and Wildlife. We didn't see it. I got sick of looking at water and trees.
