The Clipper…the best way to get to/from Victoria
Really the best way to travel from Seattle to Victoria. Smooth sailing. Boat was less than 1/2 full which was sad but the staff was excellent. Everyone so friendly and accommodating to passengers that needed it.

The best way to travel from Victoria to Seattle
Very efficient boarding. We checked our luggage because we had too much to keep up with. No problems with that. Food was decent and reasonably priced. You can bring your own, but we could not carry one more thing:) We had to stay on main level due to a member of our party being a wheelchair user. I’m sure the views were much better up top, but the views on the main level on the sides were good. No complaints.

Viator NUL stjerner. Hval turen okay….
Utrolig dårlig håndtering og kommunikation fra Viator! Meget ufleksible. Rodede rundt i vores booking, så vi ikke vidste at vi var flyttet til en anden dag! Det var meget sparsomt hvad vi fik at se på turen. Alle de forskellige dyr der reklameres med så vi overhovedet ikke. Naturen kan man jo ikke bestemme over, men reklamen bør nedtones noget…. Selve sejlstedet med wildlife hval safari, hvor vi skulle have billetterne udleveres var dygtige og hjælpsomme. De havde styr på det og ikke rodede som Viator.

Great Experience
Great staff. Nice experience. The viewing of whales can be unpredictable but the staff worked extremely hard to ensure that we were able to get the opportunity of a whale sighting

Comfortable fast ferry ride
Comfortable ride , seat allocation which was great , no fighting for the best seats !! Smooth process boarding the ferry, customs etc We had to purchase extra luggage which was also a very easy process but they do weigh it so don’t overload !

Breached whale
Awesome views. We got to see a pod of killer whales. The naturalist was very knowledgeable. The boat was fairly big so you’re still a ways away from the whales and binoculars would’ve been helpful. It’s an about a 5 hour round trip.

Ferry Seattle to Victoria
Wonderful and fun way to travel from Seattle to Victoria. Easy check in at Seattle terminal and easy to follow departure instructions when getting off ferry in Victoria. The caption explained sights along the way and even pointed out a pod of whales, slowed down so we could take pictures. Fun trip

A Pod that included Baby Orcas and a Bald Eagle
I went on a whale watching tour in Seattle about 26 years ago, and things have certainly changed! The FRS Clipper does everything they can to ensure that you see whales on your trip, and my trip did not disappoint! When you check-in at the pier, you move into a waiting area in the building until boarding time. There is a very nice and very clean restroom for you to use (and while the boat does have four bathrooms, I suggest taking advantage of the one on land). Once we set sail, we were told that there were professional photographers on board to take photos of what we saw so that we could enjoy the experience, and for me, this sounded great! Whatever photo a professional photographer takes is going to be much better than what my amateur self will take on my iPhone. So, my suggestion is to cough of the $30 for the flash drive and enjoy the trip. We stopped at a buoy that had sunbathing sea lions. Unfortunately, they were on the opposite side of the ship from where I was sitting, and I didn't want to rush into the crowd, so I caught some glimpses of them as we pulled away. As we neared the sight where the orcas were supposedly hanging out, I realized that I was in the perfect spot as I was sitting next to the railing that had a prime view of the pod. The pod had two baby orcas, two females, and a transient male. A bald eagle flew about five feet over my head, and I opted to simply enjoy the experience. I was happy to see that the eagle was captured by one of the photographers and included in the flash drive (just the eagle, not if flying over my head :)). We stayed for the allowed time to observe the pod and witnessed a lot of small jumps from the babies. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the beautiful scenery provided by Mount Rainier, the cityscape, and mountains surrounding the islands. We did book the trip through the FRS Clipper website. I chose indoor seats on the second level (and paid for the window seats), but we spent a lot of our time on top of the boat where there was additional, unassigned seating. This is the vantage point I watched the sea lions, eagle, and whales from. Note: The photos included in this review are from the purchased flashdrive.

As promised we saw whales
A very professional set up. We got to see Orcas. They spent enough time at each sighting. We were satisfied.
