Amazing experience.

Fabulous experience. Morning boat trip on a misty August morning. Login navigated us to a huge variety of sea life and let us experience the stillness of the waters. When the mist lifted with saw countless humpback whales, including a mother and calf. A truly magical experience. His enthusiasm and live of the natural world was truly inspiring. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic, thank you Briar!

Amazing and unforgettable on the evening of August 3rd. Briar was our guide and she was a delight, a ray of sunshine for everyone on board. Very knowledgeable about the animals and the area. Yes, we saw Orcas, over 10 of them from a safe and respectable distance. This was truly something my family will never forget, thank you Briar!

A whale watching tour with a magical moment to remember!

We had a great experience during our whale tour by zodiac with tour guide Logan. Logan shared a lot of knowledge about the wildlife and was very respectful towards the animals and always kept an appropriate distance from the animals. We saw killer whales, seals and the humpback whale that dived underwater far away from our boat, until it suddenly popped up right next to the boat. It was magical and exciting how the whale swam back and forth under our boat without touching the boat. We realized that this was really very exceptional. Logan agreed. What a lottery ticket! Thank you Logan for taking good care of everyone in the boat.
