Mel and Jasmine were great guides - wonderful afternoon, thank you!
Had an amazing time on this tour, seen whales within an hour of being on the water. Mel & Saz is were wonderful tour guide and captain who provided lots of facts throughout. Would definitely recommend and go again!

Amazing. Exceeded expectation. Everyone was professional, knowledge and friendly. A great trip. I will go again and recommend to others.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience exceeded expectations and that our team made your trip memorable. We appreciate the recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back on the water again!
I cannot recommend the zodiac experience enough. We were right at the level of the whales with a great view. The boat ride was super fun and we saw beautiful scenery. Our guide Mel did a wonderful job explaining all of the whales that we saw.
Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the zodiac experience and got such incredible views of the whales.
This was a great experience. We saw multiple whales with breaches from both a humpback and an Orca. Very professional company who made it feel special even though they are obviously doing trips twice a day. Great also to see the respect for the whales trying to minimise our impact as tourists on them. Definitely recommended.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your tour with us, and thanks for leaving such a great review!
Sophie our tour guide was great and told a lot about the whales we saw. Our skipper was also great and reacted spontaneously to the circumstances (where you have the best spot to visit). On this tour we saw some humpback whales. The highlight was a very active humpback whale that offered us a super “show”. From swimming on your back and clapping your fins to jumping several times. A great experience that I highly recommend! Always happy!
Wow, das klingt, als hättet ihr eine fantastische Reise gehabt! Vielen Dank für die netten Worte und die Bewertung!
Great experience, we were lucky with the weather and the whales.
Thanks so much for the review, we're pleased to hear you enjoyed your time with us!
Julia was amazing! She explained us everything and was very knowledgeable and fun!
We're so glad you enjoyed the trip, thanks for the review!
This was one of my favorite things we did. My mom was pretty nervous, but by the time we were off on the water she was smiling the entire time! She was so excited to see the whales. I learned so much from our tourguide (i wish i remebered her name)! I highly reccomend.
That is wonderful, We are so happy you and your mom enjoyed your trip with us! Thank you for doing us on the water.
We got to see humpbacks, a pod of orcas and seals. On top of that it was a beautiful boat ride with some nice shock absorber seats. The guides were excellent. I don’t remember their names but the girl was from Japan and the guy had a thick Canadian accent.
Sounds like an incredible day with high species diversity! We are thrilled you had a good experience on the water with us
