Bring your warm jacket, hat, and gloves. If you bring a purse, carry in your hands or around your wrist. Lovely staff, amazing experience, and you learn a lot!

On a cold but clear day, we had a fabulous trip with Cpt Andy and Lisa. We know we hit the jackpot ...14 orcas...wake surfing. Truly an experience I will not forget. Highly recommend making the effort to get there if you are in Vancouver. They are one of the few outfits still going out in the shoulder seasons.

A great experience with this company, particularly Capt Andy and Lisa. Through several rearrangements due to weather etc., they worked with us to find a time that we could make. They were very professional. We had a fantastic tour and will definitely go again.

If there is one thing you should have on your bucket list it’s this!
Andy the Owner and Captain goes out of his way to ensure you see whales, sea lions etc.
You WILL not regret it!

I took two of my children and three friends from their frisbee team. On my bucket list was to see orcas, and boy, did White Rock deliver. We saw lazy sea lions and a pod of 5 - 6 orcas. We stayed at a nice distance, but there was a lot of traffic. Being good ecological citizens they are, the tour captain steered into oncoming traffic to prevent a boat from cruising right into the path of the orcas. They seemed to sense that and thanked us for it. What a display. Thank you Captain Andy and Kate!

We're grateful to have a service like Scattering Ashes Vancouver which made it possible to honour our loved one's wishes with dignity in a beautiful location. We were given as much time as we needed to say our goodbyes and received a memorial certificate with coordinates of where the ashes were placed. We would like to say an extra thank you to the captain's teenage son, Ethan, for the kindness and respect he showed us. He's a very nice young man.

We had a fabulous trip to Vancouver. we did White rock whale watching excursion . we went with our two sons and us, the boat was full. There were many others in this excursion as well. They gave us snow suit style jackets and pants to wear - they were actually life preservers . the weather was beautiful the day we went but glad we had these suits- it got cold onthe water. We saw the cutest sea lions and heard them too. We saw two humpback whales and it was so amazing to see them in the wild. we did not see the orcas. We stopped at a really cute litte pub for lunch -food was great. This excursion was lots of fun, i give it a 5 star. The boat was pretty cool too.

A very good question. We recommend passengers be at least 8 years old however should parents feel that their children are able to go then all I need to do is talk to Andrew about it to reach a decision. Andrew has had 4 year olds including his children on the boat and had a great time. We now have our new vessel which has a washroom as well as more spacious seating that includes padding. Guardian 2 was just built buy Titan boats in Sidney BC who are excellent boat builders build mostly government boats. All of our trips operate within the islands which allows us to pull into facilities within 15 minutes of a request. The comfortability of the ride depends on the weather on the day. We have had terrific weather and very calm seas. The style of vessel we use is very well at handling any kind of chalk found on the water and are very stable and safe craft. Should you wish to discuss any concerns you have please call Andrew anytime at 604-868-1755 and he would be happy to discuss your concern and answer your questions see you out there on the water!
