Nice
Friendly staff and good whale watching. No orcas, though. I’m disappointed that I wasn’t able to modify my reservation to reflect 3 military discount adults and 1 child, instead paying full adult price for all. So, I guess read the fine print…

It felt like an expensive "hopeful" outing. Not sure there are whales out there. We only saw a small orca. Not only did we pay alot for the "adventure " but we spent almost $100 on board. It was hard to hear the lady telling stories and educating on the mammals. I felt like I wasted 4.5 hours of my day.

I realize you always take your chances going on a whale watching cruise, but I was disappointed we spent so much time out there and saw only one whale shallow diving back and forth, and no other wildlife to speak of. The crew tried their best but the whales didn’t deliver. Other less expensive whale watching trips I’ve taken reaped more rewards like a mother and her calf and more tail action. That said, I appreciated knowing the life story of that whale though and will always remember Indie! The boat was comfortable though chilly outside and the bathrooms were clean with plenty of toilet paper. I just felt like we were unlucky and didn’t totally get our money’s worth.

I signed up on a whim not really knowing what this tour would be like. I went alone. The boat was so nice! The crew entertains you along the way. They also teach you things. It was a fabulous experience. Well worth the money. We saw whales. Waterway was beautiful as well. Book and go!

Went on the clipper for a 1 day trip to Victoria. It was a great was to spend 6 hours in the city. It gives you plenty of time to do a bunch of things. The staff on the clipper were all friendly and helpful! I would use them again if I plan on going to Victoria again.

A great whale watching experience.
We had an awesome day whale watching. We saw orcas & it was a beautiful day out on the water. The crew were great, the boat is very nice and I love that they sent us photos that the guide took with his big fancy camera. I’m also very happy that we can now take the tour from Seattle and not have to drive up Anacortes! My only - comment is that it’s a bit expensive and I had to pay an adult fare for a 16yr old. When I called to book I was told the adult fare starts at age 11 !

Lovely day on the water! We saw a pod of Orcas up North near Port Townsend. We initially were circling near Seattle as there had been reports, but they got a report of Orcas north so we set off at a great speed! We were initially upstairs but when we set off we moved downstairs and it was a lot warmer and more comfortable. very good selection of drinks and food. Very friendly staff. Very happy we saw the Orcas!

The Best Day
Absolutely Excellent. We saw Eagles, Seals, Orcas and Humpback Whales. They delivered on their mission. Highly recommended. Also, their boat offers the opportunity to be out in the open and protected from the elements. Excellent Experience. Felt save throughout. .

This tour was quite a bit more expensive than a similar whale watching tour we took off Cape Cod last fall, so we expected a little more. Throughout the trip, I felt the guide could have shared much more information, as there were long stretches with very little commentary. For the first two hours, we barely heard from the guide. Then, when a single orca was spotted, the boat sped over quickly, but there still wasn’t much information shared about what we were seeing. We ended up spending a long time watching that one orca instead of continuing to look for additional wildlife, which made the experience feel a bit disorganized. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and the weather was perfect, but overall the tour didn’t meet our expectations, especially considering the price.
