Traveler reviews
Experience of a,lifetime
One of the most incredible experiences of a lifetime. Full breaches by humpback whales. Saw seals, sea bird, many whales, including Orca. Knowledgeable, fun guides. Very safe for everyone. Absolutely the besf.
Great whale watching and crew!
This was a great experience. The only suggestion I would have is to have the naturalist (if possible and would not be disturbing to the wildlife) wear a microphone and broadcast his info to the rest of the ship. I know I missed a lot of great info.
Great whale watching today!
Beautiful day on the water! Our guide Toban did a great job…we came across quite a few humpback whales and a pod of 5 orcas. The boat had smooth ride and we felt very comfortable!
Great humpback spectacle
Amazing experience led by great naturalists. We were very fortunate to see one of the best displays of humpbacks breaching time and time again, even if we had to stay at the requisite distance we were still in awe of such a spectacle. No Orca sightings but that’s nature and why they are so special to see when you do see them, which we will be back to do at some point. We will be recommending this trip to friends who visit Vancouver in the future.
Gorgeous Day with Whales and Sea Lions
While we didn’t see an orca we did see humpbacks and sea lions! And the weather was incredible mid-September (20th). Flat seas, no clouds, cool but not cold. The narrators and crew are atttentive, funny, and answer questions. Dan, in particular, was great as was his description of where the wash rooms are located. Final point: this cruise operator emails you links of pics they take with telephoto lenses so you don’t really need to take pictures. Just enjoy. Not every company does this. Nice touch.
