Worth it! - We viewed breaches and glimpses of humpback whales for more than an hour as they fed. We also saw sea lions. Our guide was very knowledgeable.

Amazing Friday afternoon - An amazing afternoon spent with expert guides. We learned so much and were mesmerised by the humpbacks we saw, and orca hunting in the kelp (as well as a sea lion heading towards the boat). Our guides were so well informed. One of the best trips of our holiday. Well done to the crew that took us out / your enthusiasm was infectious and just added to the day.

A true conservation aware company - Catherine was an expert tour guide, she provided us with in depth information on whales and was able to identify them by their tails. She explained the threats such as lack of a particular type of salmon that local whales rely on and how this is threatening their populations. The commentary was very informative and showed an obvious interest and concern regarding the welfare of whales. I am soo impressed with the integrity of this tour company. I highly recommend for whale watching and for environmental and conservation reasons !!!Sensational!!

Nice boat ride - The guide told us all about what we saw. She let me use her binoculars. She would let us all know when the captain saw a whale. Saw other animals too.

Not automatic wheelchair accessible - We didn’t get to do this tour because it is advertised as wheelchair accessible and when we got there they didn’t have a way to get our handicap member onto the boat. Thankfully the girl there helped us find a different company but someone should have caught this issue ahead of time. I won’t be booking through a 3rd party company anymore.
