Wow! Great knowledgeable staff. Sydney was a super captain. Goal was transient orca pod and she found them! Safety was this company's priority and it showed.
Super fun racing across the water!

Exhilarating but safe tour with expert commentary from Sydney. Really felt secure with her knowledge and captaincy. We saw two pods of transient killer whales, sea lions, birds, a sea otter very briefly - a good morning’s trip. Thanks to Sydney and all the “ground staff” - Sam, Reed, Dave.

Staff was very informative and friendly. Catamaran was very fast and easy to maneuver. So glad we had indoor space to warm up in as it was very chilly on the water. We were very lucky to see killer whales, a hump back whale and a grey whale all on the same excursion. The captain was very adept at finding pods through communication with other tours. The experience did not disappoint on any level. Would highly recommend the experience. It was also very educational. So glad we did it.

What an exciting way to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Vancouver island and experience the wildlife first hand. What started out as a rainy morning turned sunny with beautiful blue skies by the time we left the harbour. We were so excited to see two large male Orcas. Our excellent pilot Gary followed them for a long time at a respectful distance. We also saw harbour seals, basking sea lions, a majestic adult bald eagle and a juvenile one, and many other birds. The coastline was so scenic too, and the bumpy breezy ride was a blast!
