The captain and naturalist were very informative. Loved the whole experience and they knew where the pod were!
Captain Elliot and first and only mate Liam were fabulous. They answered questions during the journey from both adults and children with the same focus. One item that stood out was when a passenger saw a bald eagle and most of the others missed it. The captain went back so everyone could see and take pictures. It seemed like they catered to the passengers wants. We saw 2 Orcas and they followed them around for us. Great time, thanks!
Crew was great: Gabe and Harry. Great boat.
Beautiful day and the trip was great. Staff were friendly and informative. We saw an otter, sea lions and orcas! Worth the time and money. Thank you for the excellent experience.
Jacob and TK were great! The trip on the boat was smooth and TK was very knowledgeable about all things whale and island related. They made sure we spent a lot of time with the pods and did their best so that everyone could see them. The boat has plexiglass windows so it isn’t too cold and the seats on the boat were very comfortable. The trip was great!
We saw seals, orcas, humpbacks, and a bald eagle. Lots of fun!!!
We were lucky enough to see three families of orcas coming together for a big party. What a treat!
It was a great Orca spotting time! We got to see a couple of different pods and even a new baby! The guides were so grea and answered every question.
We were on the Orcas only tour out of Rosario. We left and the naturalists ( Genevieve and JT) were very friendly and knowledgeable. We saw seals, a hump back whale and a calf. The captain drove us up to Vancouver Canada and we were able to see about 6 Orcas. We ended up being on the water for over 5 hours, but I really felt the crew was dedicated to us seeing Orcas. Pack snacks in case you are on the boat for the full 5 hours.
Great guides and captain. Amazing experience and they took us well into Canada to see two different pods of Orcas!
