Brillaint trip
Sep. 2022
Went with them in September 2022 and it was utterly brilliant and they regulary send you pics as a memory ( like they did today - 6 months later) and that has prompted me to do this 5* review. I should have done it before. Real genuine enthusiasm from the crew, couldn't fault it .

Whale Watching Vancouver, worth every penny.
May 2022 • Couples
The team were very knowledgeable and shared in the excitement when we saw a pod of Orcas hunting. It was like a wildlife documentary being played out in front of the boat. The crew photographer emailed the excellent photos to us for no extra charge .
The whole day was exceptional and a wonderful experience.

A wonderful experience
I wanted to go whale watching for a long time and was happy to join a half-day tour at the end of October. The tour was well organized and everyone on board (Wilma, Sandy, Anthony, Luke) was very friendly and professional. They provided plenty of information and made us feel very safe on board.
We got to see four humpback whales, three of them close-up for a long time. Also we saw seals and sea lions. Though it was a very cold day, it was absolutely worth going. (The complimentary hot drinks helped as well.)
I really enjoyed the tour and it is one of the most special memories of a 2-week West Canada trip.

Bucket List - CHECK!!
Nov. 2022
The crew was amazing! Our trip was only 3 hours but the weather was quickly turning from bad to worse and we did see plenty of whales and other wildlife. It was a great experience. We had been meaning to do this for a long time. My Daughter and I had a wonderful experience and would do it again.
