This was a truly remarkable experience! The team on the cruise was exceedingly knowledgeable about not only the two types of whales we observed, but the myriad of other sea life — the various types of birds and seals specifically — we took in on this trip. This is a MUST DO when in Vancouver!

Been twice now. Such an adventure! Wilma is so knowledgeable and fun!
Saw more than just whales - saw sea lions, bald eagles, surf scoters, and of course the beautiful view of the Vancouver cost from out in the strait of georgia is breathtaking

Date of experience: April 2022

Absolutely amazing experience. The staff were soo friendly and informative and really you feel like you were part of the crew. You could clearly passionate about their jobs b and marine life.
The boat was really clean and modern and we felt very safe on board. There were plenty of viewing spots and everyone had lots of opportunities to see the wildlife.
Luck was on our side, not only did we get to see a humpback whale (which was unusually out of season), but also a pod of orcas (one of which fully breached the water), numerous porpoises, a large group of seals and a bald. Its pot luck what you will see, but we were so very happy with what we did. Its worth every penny!

My mom and I had an amazing whale watching tour. We got to see both a humpback whale as well a couple of pods of orcas. The staff (James and Jill in particular) were very knowledgeable and provided helpful commentary as we were watching the whales. We also took a nice detour up to see seals as well. The catamaran was very comfortable, with plenty of covered and open seating. The addition of complimentary coffee/tea/hot chocolate was much appreciated on a cold day.
