Amazing experience! A big thank you to Jasmine, she definitely answered many questions and share so much info, a big thank you to our captain too. We got to see many many orcas and whales. One roca even jumped, it was an amazing experience :)
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed your trip with Jasmine, and saw some beautiful local wildlife.
Very friendly Staff. We saw about 10 different Humpbacks. Unfortunately, no Orcas. This was a great trip. We went out on the Zodiac boat.. very smooth ride, lived it!
Thank you so much for the positive review! We're so glad you saw some of the beautiful local wildlife.
Mel and Jacob guided us around with great passion. We saw hunchback whales and a lot of orca's. The latter were playing around, jumping in the air and smashing their tail on the water. I never saw such a wonderful event in nature. It gave me goosebumps. Mel also gave us interesting insights into the animals we were seeing. Great combo and fortunately we had also good weather! Definitely a recommendation while you're in Vancouver!
Thank you so much for the positive review and kind feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed your time out on the water with Mel and Jacob.
An excellent trip! Very knowledgable staff - Jasmine and Jacob. Plenty of whales to be seen. Highly recommend!
We are delighted that you think so and had such a good experience. We appreciate the fact you would recommend and will be sure to pass on your compliments to the crew!
Had a fantastic time with Wild Whales on the zodiac tour! V knowledgable guide, saw so many whales and had a fab time zipping around on the rhib.
The zodiacs are just great, we are so glad you think so too and had such a fab experience! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review we really appreciate it!!
Don’t hesitate to book! The small boat capacity makes sure that you see whales unobstructed. The crew we had (Jasmine, Saz, and Julia) were wonderful. Friendly, knowledgeable and made us all feel comfortable. We saw so many whales. Most incredible experience
Thank you so much for telling us about your experience, we love to hear it! We will be sure to pass on your kind words to the crew. Sounds like you guys had a really special experience, it has been a great few days for sightings, we are so glad!!
Excellent afternoon, saw orcas and humpbacks, guide very informative
We are so glad you had such a positive experience on the water and got to see a variety of wildlife. Thanks so much for leaving a review we love to hear it!
We had an incredible experience on our Whale Watching tour! Highly recommend booking the 12 person zodiac, it was a blast even before seeing any wildlife, not to mention such an up close and personal experience while on the water. We saw a pod of Killer Whales, 3 humpback whales, and sea lions, it was amazing. We loved our conservationist/biologist, Charlotte, and captain, Jacob. They were both so knowledgable and respectful of the marine life and you can tell they were having as much fun as we were. Their love, passion, and respect for the wildlife made this a feel-good experience! We were in the water for the full 5 hours and we could have stayed out all day, it was the highlight of our trip.
Thank you so much for the positive review, we really appreciate all your kind words! We're so glad you had a great time on the zodiac with our crew.
