Reviews
Disappointing experience – not worth the price. I was disappointed with this tour and wouldn't recommend it, especially given how expensive it is. After cruising for over an hour and a half, we only saw two whales and a few seals, all from quite a distance. Having taken similar whale watching tours in the past with much better experiences, this one fell short. Save your money.
The whale watching tour was a great experience! We saw three gray whales, seals and seal ions. The crew us very friendly and accommodating. We had a great time on board!
Nice ride. Exactly 3 hours

Awesome Travel Experience via high Speed Passenger Ferry
Absolutely awesome experience using the FRS Clipper from Seattle to Victoria, BC. Seating was comfortable and spacious
Perfect 👍
Very convenient fast ferry to Vancouver Island from Seattle. 3h navigation, clean, punctual ferry, equipped with bathrooms and possibility to buy food and drinks on board.
Excellent ferry
Delightful experience! Helpful, kind staff. Comfortable voyage. Complete professionalism and safety.
It sure Was Fun
Not much experience with ferries, but the crew was helpful, the seating was roomy and comfortable and the snacks weren’t bad. The weather cooperated and We saw lots of Orcas. For 3 hours it was a lot better than a plane ride.
Double booked
Mistakenly booked a one way trip when we already had a RT. Called with the error within a couple hrs and Viator agent had absolutely no solution but to charge us twice for the one way. ( additional $337). We’ll never do business w Viator again.
