Brilliant and highly recommended.

It was a brilliant experience to see these giants of the sea almost up close. Our guide Matthew took us to the spot in a fast-paced but safe ride over the roaring waves and through low-hanging clouds, and told us a lot about the whales 🐋 and the region. We had plenty of time for photos, videos, or simply to enjoy the sight of 4 whales, and of course, the obligatory tail fluke was not missing. Another highlight was the sea otters and sea eagles that we saw. Thank you Matthew - you get 5 stars ⭐️

we had the best time with our amazing guide Isaac. i especially liked that he was asking us multiple times if everyone was feeling okay. the crowd size was good and the atmosphere was great. the length was also hust right and did not feel rushed. we all had enough time to take enough photos from every animal we saw. you really get an amazing experience for your money.

Whale watching top fun

Top banana. The guides (Matt & Zach) were great - fun, very knowledgeable and took good care of us. We went in the zodiac boat which I’d recommend - great views and quite exciting. We saw lots of grey whales and sea otters. The ocean and the islands views were stunning. I’m a happy bunny.

Amazing wildlife in Tofino

Excellent trip. Ashley our skipper was friendly knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Beautiful day to be on the ocean. We saw a raft of sea otters floating about. Two grey whales blowing and diving which was so good to see. Then saw a bald headed eagle steal a gull’s chick and fly over us, with the chick in its talons, to its nest to feed its young. Nature at its best, amazing to see. Thoroughly recommend.
