My 13 year old grandson and myself were fortunate to attend the April 2, 2026 tour with Captain Andy x2. Captain Andy (male) is an excellent teacher and obviously loves his job and people. Explanations were clear and very interesting. There was no rush to return to French Creek. Captain Andy (female) greeted each of us when we arrived to the office. Her driving skills are impeccable. She obviously enjoys her job as well.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you and your grandson had such a memorable experience with us on April 2nd. It truly means a lot to hear your feedback about both of our Captain Andys—they’re a fantastic team. It’s especially special to see a father and daughter sharing their passion for the ocean together and passing that enthusiasm on to our guests. We hope to welcome you both back out on the water again soon!
A great experience, on step under expert guidance. Be able to make beautiful pictures. Good story with the two killer whales we've seen.
Thank you for joining us! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour and the orcas — we hope to see you again soon!
Our skipper Andi really knew her stuff. We had a smashing trip - and it was great to be the only boat around. We wanted to see some humpback whales. We certainly did that and enjoyed being able to hang around undisturbed and watch them do their thing
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you had such a fantastic trip with Andi – she really does know her stuff. It’s always such a treat when we get those peaceful tours out of Parksville; there’s nothing quite like being the only boat around to fully take in the sights and sounds that nature has to offer. We’re thrilled you were able to spend that time with the humpbacks and enjoy watching them undisturbed. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Smaller group, very nice biologist who confidently led the boat, many sightings. Zodiacs are absolutely safe and comfortable apart from the fact that there is no toilet (or only very small) on the inflatable boat. Highly recommended, not as a nub as elsewhere!
Thank you so much for your kind review! We love our smaller Zodiacs too, their size and maneuverability really allow us to make the most of each trip on the water. And yes, our little bathroom may be a bit of an adventure to use, but we’re grateful it’s there when needed! We’re so glad you enjoyed the sightings and the experience with your captain.
This was my 3rd late afternoon/sunset whale watching trip with OceanEcoventures in the past year. I’ve loved every single one, as have my guests visiting from both France and Germany. Yesterday’s trip included sealions, harbour seals, a glimps of porpoise AND three families of Orca - 11 in all. It was so exciting. Even though I’m a local, these trips will be an annual adventure for my guests and I.
Aww, Thanya! Thank you again for such a glowing review. We really appreciate you, and look forward to seeing you again soon!
We really enjoyed this experience and we saw some Killer whales for a super long time. It really felt like they were putting on a show for us and ww saw a Humpback whale- so cool! It was so educational and our guide was so passionate and lovely. I love the fast boat ride in between sightings. This memorable experience was one I will never forget! We also saw 2 bald eagles and a couple of the sealions that live in the bay year round! And some other cool birds!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable day on the water and were able to see both killer whales and a humpback whale, as well as eagles, sea lions, and other wildlife. It’s wonderful to know that you enjoyed the educational aspect of the tour and that our guide’s passion made the experience even better. The fast boat ride between sightings is always a fun highlight! We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future.
Bad experience with this claimant. Very expensive service without much interest. On 3h30 excursion, 2 hours to follow 3 same cetaceans, no possibility to approach animals that stay too far. The guide pays no attention to non-English speaking participants and to a ready-made and especially overrated speech about marine animals. Not worth the price at all
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not match what you had hoped for. Whale watching is not a show or performance—it is a chance to witness wild animals living freely in their natural environment. For us, it is always a privilege to spend time with these incredible beings, and we follow strict government regulations to ensure their safety and wellbeing. That sometimes means the whales may stay at a distance, but we believe that protecting them and leaving no impact on their lives is far more important than getting closer. Our captains and naturalists are not only guides, they are also researchers who have dedicated their lives to understanding and protecting these animals. What they share on board comes from real passion and experience, not from a script. Every encounter is different, and every sighting is special. At this time, our team does not speak French, but we do our best to make all of our guests feel welcome and included. We truly value your feedback and hope you left with a deeper appreciation of these incredible animals and the wild place they call home.
We had an amazing time with the sunset whale boat experience! It lasted 4 hours, we saw many whales and a beautiful sunset! I recommend. The captain was really friendly and knowledgeable!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Sunset Whale Watching Tour and had the chance to see whales and a beautiful sunset—it’s one of our favorite times of day on the water. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
This was a great whale watching tour. We were able to see a family of killer whales swimming in the Saanich Inet. What a wonderful sight. Our tour guide Taz was amazing, she was very knowledgeable and loved showing us different areas of the water. My only dislike was having to wear the cruiser suits but that is Canadian rules not the company. But I will say at 8:00pm the suit kept you warm. I definitely recommend.
Thank you very much for the review, we are happy to hear you enjoyed the trip and stayed warm with the suits!
The only place to whale watch is with ocean EcoVentures. The staff is knowledgeable, enjoyable and on time. The boats are comfortable.
Aw, thank you! We are happy to hear you had a great time and were comfortable, thank you for the review.
