We had a great time. The gear they provided kept us warm and the guide was knowledge. They showed great care and respect for the animals and waterway. Very knowledgeable and good experience with kids.
Very streamlined booking and check in process. This folks think of it all, keeping us informed, warm and having fun. We spotted Orcas pretty quick, hanging around them for about 40 minutes. Our guide was constantly teaching us about Orcas and these individuals in particular. Eagles, Seals and Sea Lions rounded out a fun morning on the zodiac. We'd do this again for sure.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you had a great experience from booking through the entire trip and enjoyed all of the whale and wildlife encounters. We truly appreciate you joining us and look forward to welcoming you back for another zodiac adventure!
Amazing experience!!!! Would 100% recommend these guys for a trip… The boat was fun, the scenary was amazing, and we got to see a pod of orcas 🥰
Thanks for the great review, Kelly! It's fantastic to hear you had an amazing experience and would recommend us! We're glad you enjoyed the boat, scenery, and orca encounter. We'd love to welcome you on board again sometime!
The staff were amazing and so knowledgeable. Would definitely do this trip again! We were a little nervous about the boat being on the smaller size, but loved it! It seemed like they had an easier time navigating than the other larger boats we saw on the water. We got to follow a pod of 3 orcas for a while and it was so awesome! Also got to see sea lions, an otter, eagles, sheep, and rams. The San Juan islands are sooo pretty and this trip was definitely worth it!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you gave the zodiac tour a try and would do it again! We are thrilled you enjoyed both the wildlife and the beautiful scenery of the San Juan Islands. We truly appreciate you joining us and look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure!
Tiffany is an awesome naturalist and very knowledgeable about local wildlife! She knew a ton about the orcas that we saw and had so many great orca facts and stories to share. She also taught us about harbor seals, sea lions, cormorants, puffins, kingfishers, and bald eagles. I've done a few whale watching tours in the area and still learned so much! I loved the zodiac boat! It felt extremely intimate and there was not a bad viewing area anywhere on the boat. A friend in our group has a fear of boats and motion sickness, and said that she felt surprisingly comfortable and was just focused on the fun she was having. We found the small boat to actually be better for preventing seasickness because you can see all around you. The cruising suits provided by BKT were clean and kept us plenty warm and dry. Being able to borrow binoculars was especially awesome! Clint was very accommodating and a great captain.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that Tiffany's knowledge and enthusiasm for the Salish Sea made your experience both fun and educational. We're glad you enjoyed the zodiac boat, the gear, and the binoculars, and that everyone in your group felt comfortable and had a great time. We truly appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you back for another adventure on the water!
Wow! What a great tour. Amanda and Clint were amazing and made the trip really enjoyable. They were friendly, knowledgeable and super accommodating. We saw orcas, sea lions, harbor seals, harbor porpoises and bald eagles on our trip. The company provides cruiser suits, hats, gloves, eye masks, and binoculars. They go above and beyond, mapping out our journey for us afterward and sharing photos of some of the animals we saw. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip. Thank you!
Thank you for the incredible review! We are thrilled to hear you found this to be the best tour you've taken in a long time!! We're glad that Amanda and Clint helped make the trip even more enjoyable. Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you out again someday!
Professional, prepared and ride/trip was comfortable. We got to see plenty of wildlife. Equipment provided was appropriate and appreciated.
Thanks for the review, Michael! We appreciate knowing that you found our company professional and enjoyed the equipment and comfortable boat ride. We hope to welcome you on board again sometime!
Tyler piloted the Zodiac so well and the marine naturalist, Amanda, was interesting and informative the entire time. We viewed Harbor Seals, a large family of Orcas (and we saw them swim under the boat right before our eyes!), a bunch of onery Sea Lions, and to top it off, a huge Gray whale in shallow waters. Blue Kingdom provided all outerwear and protective gear and it kept us warm and dry. The goggles really helped when the boat was running at high speed. I highly recommend and would go again!
Thank you so much for the review and high recommendation! We're so glad you enjoyed the trip with Tyler and Amanda. It sounds like a jam-packed day with multiple whale species and other wildlife! We're glad the gear helped keep you comfortable as well. We hope to have you out again sometime!
A huge thank you to our captain and Tiffany, they were amazing, super friendly, attentive, and made us feel safe while making the trip enjoyable. If you’re looking for a fun adventure with an awesome crew, I highly recommend this! I would definitely do it again.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so glad our crew helped make your adventure such a fun and memorable experience. Safety, comfort, and creating a welcoming atmosphere for our guests are always top priorities, and we’re so glad you felt well cared for throughout the trip. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back for another adventure on the water!
Amazing captain and naturalist guide. We did happen to see two pods of orcas and a gray whale. However even had we not seen any wildlife the naturalist was like listening to a professor who knew more than you could ever know about the entire area and the wildlife in it. I have been on at least 20 Wildlife tours, including while watching trips and she was clearly the most amazing and knowledgeable I've ever met in my 63 years. Don't hesitate to book with them they are the best
Thank you so much for your incredible review, Lisa! We’re honored by your kind words and thrilled that your experience with our captain and naturalist stood out among the many wildlife tours you’ve taken. While seeing two pods of orcas and a gray whale was a highlight, we love that you appreciated the deeper understanding and connection our guides bring to every trip. Sharing the stories, science, and wonders of the Salish Sea is what makes these adventures so special. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience!
