Nice but pricey

Saw a small pod of killer whales however very far away, I understand it’s nature ect but felt we could have gotten closer, didn’t see anything else. Overall was great to see orcas in the wild but the price of the trip is too expensive

Perfect morning in the Salish Sea

Amazing tour, Raj our captain and guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about whales. He was also very conscientious about not over stimulating them - we viewed the whales only when there were just a few boats near by. The seats and the ride in the boat is fabulous ! Exhilarating and relaxing all at the same time !!

Best boat trip with 9 orcas

It was an incredible, unforgettable experience: We (parents with an 8-year-old son) saw 9 orcas. Our captain Michael made sure that we felt safe in the Zodiac despite a wild ride and our son screamed with joy at every flight over the waves. A thousand thanks for this wonderful adventure.
