Amazing experience whale...

Published on Jan, 2025

Amazing experience whale watching outside the city. Pick up and drop off were efficient l. Got to see a couple of whales and enjoy lunch by the pier

Amazing experience

Published on Nov, 2024

The tour was an amazing experience from start to finish. The shuttle from downtown Vancouver was prompt and comfortable, and the shuttle driver even gave us information about the areas we were traveling through on the way to the wharf. As someone prone to motion sickness, I took a couple of Dramamine and was fine. The scenery was beautiful, and we were fortunate enough to see both humpback and Orcas, along with assorted birds, seals, and seal lions. I highly recommend this tour!

Amazing

Amazing adventure

Very knowledgeable crew, Julia was amazing. Boat has lots of space even at capacity which is great. They make efforts to ensure both sides of the boat see whales. Would recommend!
