Mike was our guide and did an amazing job getting us out on thr water. We were able to see the Orca's and many other sea animals. It was so much fun!!
Michael such a good tour guide for us, very knowledgeable about his work. Worth the money. Would do it again in the future.
Our captain Michael was fantastic! Knowledgeable and kind. We saw two families of orcas plus seals and birds, all with fantastic sun and a fun fast boat ride. Highly recommend.
A fantastic and exhilarating experience that we will never forget. The host, George was fantastic - polite, patient and very knowledgeable.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad your Zodiac tour was both exhilarating and unforgettable, and that George’s patience, knowledge, and friendly approach stood out. Thank you for joining us and we hope we can welcome you back soon for another adventure!
Saw a small pod of killer whales however very far away, I understand it’s nature ect but felt we could have gotten closer, didn’t see anything else. Overall was great to see orcas in the wild but the price of the trip is too expensive
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Lisa. We’re glad you had the opportunity to see orcas in the wild, though we understand that you were hoping for a greater variety of wildlife and a closer view. We strictly follow all legal viewing distances regulations as these laws are in place to protect the animals' safety and well-being. We appreciate your honest feedback about the cost and regret that the overall experience did not feel worth the price you paid.
Amazing tour, Raj our captain and guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about whales. He was also very conscientious about not over stimulating them - we viewed the whales only when there were just a few boats near by. The seats and the ride in the boat is fabulous ! Exhilarating and relaxing all at the same time !!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you had a perfect morning on the Salish Sea and appreciated Raj’s knowledge, enthusiasm, and conscientious approach to viewing the whales. We really appreciate you joining us and hope you can come back soon for another adventure!
It was an incredible, unforgettable experience: We (parents with an 8-year-old son) saw 9 orcas. Our captain Michael made sure that we felt safe in the Zodiac despite a wild ride and our son screamed with joy at every flight over the waves. A thousand thanks for this wonderful adventure.
Vielen Dank für die wunderbare Bewertung! Wir freuen uns riesig, dass Sie eine fantastische Zeit an Bord mit Michael verbracht haben und sich bei ihm am Ruder sicher gefühlt haben, als er Sie durch die rauen Gewässer geführt hat. Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihr Sohn es genossen hat, während der Erkundungstour über die Wellen zu hüpfen. Wie aufregend, gleich 9 Orcas auf einmal zu sehen! Was für ein atemberaubender Anblick! Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder an Bord begrüßen zu dürfen, um weitere aufregende Ausflüge zu unternehmen!
Michael was AWSOME as a guide, totally worth it!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We are thrilled you had a fantastic time zipping around the Salish Sea with Michael, taking in the stunning scenery and knowledge he had to share as you explored! We hope we will get to welcome you back for more exciting excursions!
This experience was more than I expected! Michael was very knowledgeable and drove us in different directions from some other boats which led to seeing these majestic whales up close. The boat ride was also so fun!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled you had such a great experience and enjoyed seeing the whales up close. We’re glad Michael could make the trip both exciting and memorable. We hope to have you back out on the water with us again soon!
Michael was amazing. It was such an adventure
