At first, I wasn't that enthusiast to go for whale watching on a big boat. But, the skipper got talent (thanks again), there were two marine biologists on board, we got plenty of intel! The boat has as submarine mic, so we were able to hear orcas. That was magical! The tour lasted more than 3 hours and we saw a lot of humback whales, orcas, seal, sea lions and two bald eagle (and seagul :)) And Telegraph Cove is so nice! It was definitely worth it!…

We did it again - we did it in 2002 and it was slightly better 16 years ago. the place hasn't changed at all - it was a good tour but for my liking to many people on board.

I hate when some nationalitys are pushing you out of the way for photos (enjoy the moment not the photo) the boarding on the vessel is now how has booked first goes on first - so dont even bother to line up - you will be called by name to get on board.…

Thank you for returning, It was our pleasure welcoming you back Isabel S. We always appreciate knowing who our returning guests are and receiving their feedback as to how their most recent experience compared with their memories and expectations. We are disappointed that you felt a little crowded on your tour, compared to 16 years ago but re-assured that despite this you had a good tour and still recommend our whale watching as a must do on Vancouver Island.

A magic experience with a wonderful crew. They love what they do. It was a day for all senses ... did you know that you can smell whales? 🤣

Our crew certainly love what they do Judith W but what they enjoy even more is knowing that they were successful in giving our guests a magic experience - thank you! Isn't it incredible being able to smell the whales, taste the salt in the air, as you quietly observe the natural behaviour of these fascinating creatures and listen to the blows and vocalizations - pure magic! It was our pleasure having you on board and we hope to welcome you back again one day soon.
