Absolutely incredible experience! We saw a pod of Orcas, 4 humpback whales, sea lions, bald eagles, and seals. Amazing team and experience. We did the semi covered catamaran, 11/10 recommend!!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled you had such an unforgettable day on the water with us, and we're so glad you enjoyed the catamaran and our team. We hope to welcome you aboard again someday. All the best, Tianda
Amazing 6.5 hour trip through the Juan De Fuca Strait looking for migratory birds. The crew of 4 were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in making sure we all, 51 of us, got to see the Red Footed Booby!
Thank you so much for joining us! We're so glad your day out on the strait turned into such a memorable one, and that everyone aboard got to share in the excitement together. Our crew love making sure no one misses a moment, so it's wonderful to hear it made a difference. We'd love to have you out with us again for another adventure. All the best, Tianda
Sensational tour, The all girl crew were fabulous and so informative!! We saw about half a dozen whales, even a mum and baby! The seal colony was wonderful (if a little smelly :) ...) All in all, I feel this company definitely delivers what they promise, and more.. I was particularly impressed with the email after the tour with COMPLIMENTARY photos!! Never have I seen this before, they could easily have done the money grab and sell them.. It was the cherry on the top of a fabulous day out.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're thrilled the day went above and beyond for you, and it means a lot to hear how much the crew added to the experience. Little extras that help guests relive their time on the water are something we love doing. We'd be so happy to welcome you aboard again. All the best, Tianda
Had the best time and saw whales, orcas on the boat for 3h30. Tilley, Hana and Emma were super helpful and Evan was an amazing driver getting so close to the animals. Would recommend
Thank you so much for joining us and for the kind words! We're so glad you had the best time out on the water and that the whole crew helped make your trip a great one. We'd love to welcome you aboard again. All the best, Tianda
This was one of our favourite experiences of our trip. Our guides, Laura and Trev were amazing and informative and so much fun. They made sure that we got every experience possible. We got to see so many animals including hump back whales, killer whales, sea lions, seals and a sea otter. We really had the best experience!!

Our tour was top notch from start to finish. Great safety and intro talk on the pier before we went out, cold/dry-weather gear offered (which was really needed, even on a nice day!) for all along with what to expect in this area, ample indoor cover if you wanted it. But most of all amazing commentary and info from our guide, Derek. He knew EVERYTHING about the wildlife we were looking for, especially orcas. And had been living and guiding in the area for decades. We certainly saw whales (hump backs) , sea lions, lots of birds life. Fantastic!
Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! We put a lot of care into making sure everyone feels comfortable and prepared before heading out, so it's great to hear it made a difference. Our crew's knowledge comes from years spent on these waters, and they love passing it along to guests. Thanks for joining us, and we'd love to welcome you aboard again. All the best, Tianda
We were on the Serengeti boat with captain Jeff. He did an amazing job. Saw tons of wildlife - humpbacks, seals, orcas. Fast boat. Covered 74 miles in our extended tour.
