Orca Spirit Adventure accommodated me for a spur of the moment trip to see Humbacks and Sea Lions. I was so grateful for their willingness to adjust my departure time so I could get better light for my photographs. Matt my guide was incredibly knowledgeable! He was also fantastic at navigating the waves so the boat ride was smooth! I can't wait to book another adventure with Orca Spirit soon!…

We booked the beginning of November and they told us they had seen a few whales over the last week. We couldn't go out for 2 days due to weather. The office staff is super friendly and helpful!! Along comes Friday (Nov 6) , the weather is beautiful! Matt and Alex take us out. AMAZING!! Within 15 min we're watching orcas, including the (recently) famous T'luk, look him up!! Really cool!! As we were all admiring the orcas, Matt noticed humpback whale blows. Off we went and watched a humpback whale spout many times including showing its full tail twice!! Amazing!! After that we went to see harbour seals, California seal lions and Stellar sea lions. All wonderful and amazing!! What a great day!! Thank you Matt!!!…

What an amazing experience! Upon check in we meet Hayley! She started it off on the right foot with her amazing personality! Out trip started at 1pm and my first picture of a whale was at 1:15pm, we seen everything from sea otters, Orca, humpbacks and a baby whale! Our tour guide Mick Miller was absolutely amazing, his intuitions were often correct on where the Orca was going. (I know this may not be normal especially in October) I would highly recommend this tour!…

We had an incredible experience with Sarah. We were very comfortable in our floatation suits despite the chilly October air. I am prone to sea sickness and didn’t feel sick even once. We saw multiple families of humpback whales and then hustled to see a pod of orcas, including a rare white one. We were allowed as much time as we wanted to sit and watch them swim around. Because Sarah didn’t have another toured booked right away, she offered to keep us out a little longer to get in more viewing time. We finished off driving by Race Rock to see hundreds of sea lions. Sarah was very knowledgeable about the whales and their habits. I highly recommend this your. …
