Loved the tour guide! She was enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
A fantastic Company to deal with The tour itself was excellent, giving us the chance to see numerous Humpback Whales and our guide Carlie, was very engaging and friendly. Two of our party were unable to join us on the trip, one being unable to travel with us to Canada and one being unwell on the day, but Zodiac Tours gave us a free refund for each, without us ven asking. Great customer service!
The crew was very informative and amazing at making it fun. We saw everything from whales to sea lions and seals !!
It was a great experience. This time I was very impressed to see whales and killer whales up close on a small speedboat. The guide was very kind and I am glad I participated. I recommend smaller ships over larger ones.
This is 100% the whale watching tour to go on in Vancouver. The guides are amazing, friendly, knowledgeable and clearly love what they do. The tour was organised exceptionally well from booking to the trip. We saw pods of humpback whales and pods of orcas. If you want a once in a lifetime experience, just do it!
We were so lucky. We saw 3 pods of Orca playing in the water, then headed off as a grey whale had been spotted. We were lucky enough he was still there. We saw lots of sea lions and cormorants and then headed off again to see a humpback whale. What an amazing day. The guide was so informative and it was all well organised. I would definitely recommend
Such a great experience! The tour guides were the best and so informative. We loved every minute
Captain Glenn was experienced. Guides Brynne & Clancy were informatives , very friendly and did a lot to make it an enjoyable & remarkable experience. We saw 7 humpback whales. Thank God & the experience of our lovely crew. Keep it up
Well worth the trip. From start to finish this was a very enjoyable trip. First booking was cancelled due to high winds. Simple call to rebook. Calm seas, smooth ride and we were “mugged’ by three humpback whales. Our guide Clancy told us they are supposed to stay at least 100m away from the whales, but nobody told the whales. Excellent experience. We then headed off to a group os small islands to see seals and sea lions. I was staying in downtown Vancouver, so booked the transport option. Easy to find the meeting spot, on time and comfortable ride. All good. An excellent day on the water
We had an amazing time. Our guide James was very knowledgeable, pleasant and professional. Thanks to the captain we viewed multiple whales, saw stellar sea lions, harbour seals, eagles. The boat was very comfortable. The weather was perfect. A wonderful day, we highly recommend Vancouver Whale Watch.
