Whale watching fun.

Raj is an awesome guide. He is knowledgeable, friendly and dedicated to making sure his guests have a good time. We saw a family of Orcas. It was a lot of fun.

Orcas

We visited Victoria, BC for our daughter’s college graduation celebration, and the top priority on her list was to see orcas. Mark, Logan and Eden were awesome and made sure we saw not only orcas but also a humpback whale and sea lions. It was a fantastic trip and we couldn’t have been happier.

Amazing Tour!

We had a wonderful time with Roge on the Zodiac tour! We were able to spend an amazing time with the killer whales and Roge knew a lot about them. We’ll be absolutely back for another trip anytime we’re in Vancouver again!

Amazing!

Amazing! We have done this trip several times at different times of the year, and each time it is different, but equally fabulous. Orca family catching prey (sea lion), grey whales, humo backs, and a beautiful tour leaving from Victoria, BC., around the SAN Juan Islands. The whole experience was great from check in with the front desk to the tour guides Mark and Logan. All the staff were so passionate and happy. My SIL was reticent about going via zodiac but in the end she was glad we chose that option.
