Phenomenal - Spectacular! Our Captain, Jasper, was so great! Knowledgeable, kind and attentive to his guests as well as staying a respectful distance from the Wildlife. Definitely book a tour…you’re gonna be blown away!

Whaletastic - What a truly fantastic 3 hours. Captain Ian was very knowledgeable speaking about all the wildlife we saw. Obviously the high lights being the orcas & Humpbacks. We saw 2 pods of orcas and a couple of humpbacks. The Zodiac boats are fun and I felt very save the whole of the 3 hours. We were very lucky with the weather and the ocean was so calm. We wore plenty of layers and then was also given a floatation suit to wear. Thank you so much Captain Ian and Molly in bookings.

Wow, what an experience! - I highly recommend the whale watching tour by Zodiac. Our group had Kate who was excellent in navigating the areas for sightings of humpbacks, killer whales, seals and sea lions. We were able to capture some great photos! Kate’s knowledge and commentary was very interesting. Our group had such a fantastic time as there was a lot of activity to be seen on the day. A truly memorable experience.

Exhilarating Whale Watching Tour - We were lucky enough to be on a Zodiac Whale Watching Tour with operator Kate, who went above and beyond to give us the best experience we could have, seeing multiple humpbacks,orca’s,seals and sea lions. The whole experience was well organized, safe, easy to do and exhilarating. Thanks Kate

Life changing, humbling experience. - Incredible, once in a lifetime experience. PSA, when the captain says the front is bumpy, they’re not exaggerating. I felt like my brain was being scrambled, but the whole trip was 1000000% worth it! Our captain, Ian, took us out quite far to search for a large pod of humpback whales and we were not disappointed. After seeing a couple dozen whales fairly close up, and riding beside 3 whales for several minutes while they played in the water flipping their fins and waving at us, we turned to head back. The time watching whales was about 30 minutes. We suddenly veered off path heading out a different direction. That’s when we saw it. A super playful whale breaching the water. It was a once in a lifetime experience, and one we wouldn’t have gotten on the larger boat, which wouldn’t have been able to change course so easily. We stayed with the whale for about 10 more minutes and then headed back. Truly life changing and humbling experience.
