Great time whale-watching - We were very lucky and saw both humpback whales and orcas. The ride in the zodiac was great fun and our guide was really helpful and told us a lot abot whales in general and the ones we saw in specific.

Best decision to do the tour with Orca Spirit AdventureS - Incredibly great experience. Our guide knew exactly where he had to go so that we could fulfill our dream of seeing orca whales.

A fantastic experience - We decided to go with this company because they used marine scientists who were really knowledgeable about the types of marine animals we were likely to see. Jordan, who led our, trip was a really nice guy and gave us really interesting and informative insights into why the whales we saw might be where they were. We were really fortunate to see a pod of five orca, who we were able to get close to (but not so close as to distress them). This was a real treat and we got some fabulous memories as well as some wonderful pictures. The boat trip itself was also really fun and the exhilaration of zipping along the sea at speed added to the experience. An added bonus, after a rainy trip home, was Jordan's demonstration of his boat skills before we entered Victoria harbour - it put a smile on all our faces! Overall a really great trip and certainly worth the money.

Happy Birthday David - We went as a family to celebrate my husband's birthday - he would have been 75 this year but he passed away last year. It was a wonderful time together, the weather was perfect, the boat was so fun and our guide was terrific. We saw Orcas and Humpbacks too. A real treat. Thank you.

No orcas but a humpback - Loved the experience Great crew - friendly experienced and well organized Unfortunately no orcas to be seen on our 3hr tour but we did see a big humpback. It was a bit short as we returned within 3hrs not the 3.5-4hrs advertised Saw a bald eagle's nest as well
