Captain Scotty and crew members Ken and Dion were absolutely amazing and did not disappoint! They definitely know where to go — we were so fortunate to see both humpback whales and orcas up close. Ken and Dion were a wealth of knowledge and shared so much fascinating information about both species throughout the excursion. You could tell how passionate and experienced they are, which made the experience even more special. It was truly an amazing day and an unforgettable experience! I would 100 percent do this excursion again and highly recommend Captain Scotty and his crew to anyone looking for an incredible whale watching adventure in Vancouver!

Amazing experience! Crew was so knowledgeable and considerate and ensured we found and saw both humpback and killer whales (orcas). We had 4 hours on the water in a comfortable Zodiac vessel, with ample time for viewing whales from all different angles. Naturalists on board gave information about each species, the area, their history, and their conservation and education efforts. Even spotted some other wildlife (seals, sea lions, bald eagles)! Was a treat!
