Nice boat, lots of seating, great people and the cafe staff was excellent and fast! I enjoyed it and appreciative of the photos that were sent as that was unexpected. I’ll bring my mom back in September for a visit and hopefully we will see more whales and wildlife.

Es war eine sehr schöne Bootsfahrt durch die Fjorde. Nach 1,5 Stunden wurdenOrcas gesichtet. Auf dem Rückweg sahen wir noch die Seehunde auf der Boje. Danke für die Fotos, die zur Verfügung gestellt wurden.

Supreme vessel and crew to be our guides! The weather was excellent and the whales did their part by giving us a really cool show. One of the wildlife expert took soom really fantastic photos and shared them with their customers! I was just magical time. Returning to Seattle was just as awesome because a humpbacked whale was waiting to greet us back to shore

(Translated by Google) We went on a whale watching tour. The organization was excellent and the boat was in great condition. We saw orcas and sea lions. Highly recommended! By the way, it's really important to dress warmly and it can get quite chilly on the boat! (Original) Wir haben eine whale watching Tour gemacht. Die Organisation war sehr gut und das Schiff top in Ordnung. Wir haben Orcas und Seelöwen gesehen. Sehr zu empfehlen! Übrigens ist es auf den Schiff wirklich wichtig und kühl, also entsprechend anziehen!

A little closer to the wildlife. Great images for those who could not enhance the images on phone. Thank you for the actual pictures sent to us after the trip. Greatly appreciated!!

Easy and fast way to travel from Vancouver Island to Seattle. Booking, Check-in, travel and de-boarding was very easy seemless with excellent communication. My only regret was that we were unable to spend time to slowdown and see a humpback whale that we passed on the way as we were running behind schedule.

it is a good trip, but if you are not lucky (not that anyone can predict how many animals you might see) it ends up being very long and very expensive for no reason at all

A good experience. Lovely...
A good experience. Lovely boat. Saw whales but very far away. Shame we did not see them come up more though.

Playful orca pod
Incredible experience. Saw an orca pod playing and hunting and one was curious enough to swim right under the boat.

Went on 21 May 2026. Check-in for the cruise was smooth. The boat was comfortable, lots of indoor seats and outdoor standing area for everyone. You get good views from both indoor and outdoor areas. We got lucky and saw a pod of 5 orcas including a week old baby orca about an hour out. On our way back, we saw grey whales and sea lions. The naturalist onboard, Alison (I think), was knowledgeable and informative. Also told us where to look at. The video presentations on board with info on the animals we get to see were a plus! Food, drinks and gifts available for purchase on board as well. Overall great 10/10 experience!

Don't trust that they will handle your bike or anything out of your sight with care. Make sure you look over your bike/item completely before leaving the facility and if you see damage report it to someone immediately and complete forms in person otherwise they won't do anything. Disappointing customer service. At least provide feedback to people handling bikes to be more careful and that if they damage a bike they should alert the customer that the damage occurred.

Very good, we saw a pod of whales and a bald eagle. It was nice to get pictures too from the guide.

Massively Underwhelmed
Boat was pretty good, big windows indoor with air conditioning. But there is not enough deck space for the amount of people who go on the tour. We were not even at full capacity, and there was no room to really look outside. Unless you are running out to the deck to get the front, you are not going to be able to realy see anything form outside. The boat isn't close enough to see anything really substancial. A little tail or spout spray in the far far distance really isn't worth the price you pay. On that note, the prices for the concession stand are absolutely abysmal. Only real positive to the trip is the tour guide lady was lovely.

Whale watching
The line took a minute to get through once through wait in area and get on boat. They took us to area where they heard they might be what gorgeous animals orcas are. Would like more information on them but it was great and staff nice and friendly
