What a great experience!

Had a great experience, the crew were all really knowledgeable and helpful. We were so lucky that we saw 3 humpback whales and orcas. Also were taken to see some of the other local wildlife which was great. Would 100% recommend!!

Jonah and Petra were great and they shared their knowledge with us. Jonah was so patient with the children who were inquisitive. Petra shared so much personal experience with whales, it was amazing!

Great experience

The experience was great. They took us out and we saw multiple sightings of whales and saw orca’s and seals. The guide explained how they categorized and name the whales and orcas by identifying their fins. If you want to see them this is a great tour to book.

Long distance travellers

We went as a family of four on our trip to Canada Jul-Aug 2026. The whole experience from start to finish was made easy by the professionalism of the tour operator. All staff were friendly and welcoming. The start location is in Granville Island, so we went for dinner before going in the sunset tour. This was a great experience. The boat was clean, well maintained and huge, allowing ample space for everyone. My only huge personal disappointment was that we travelled all the way from Wales ,UK in the hope of seeing Orcas. I understand it’s not a given, and we were lucky enough to see some humpback Whales, but I was so sad not to have seen an Orca. I think due to the photos and the other reviews, I thought it was highly likely. Maybe we were just unlucky. Apart from that, great experience and I highly recommend.

We had a great time. The crew was very knowledgeable and friendly. The boat was clean and the ride was fun. We saw humpback whales, harbor seals, sea lions, bald eagles, and an unexpected deer.
