The entire trip was beyond our expectations. From exceptional Covid safety procedures, carefully and tasty prepared meals, beautiful surroundings to the very professional guides to direct our family’s kayaking experience. Look forward to returning again.

What an experience! From the ease of booking online to the professional way the whole day we had the tour was run, this place really is flawless. We booked on the 6 hour whale tour and requested a vegan meal for one of the group. We arrived on time and were welcomed in with a smile before being told about the covid procedures to follow and how the day works. Our captain Steve came out early to explain to the group the route he planned on taking and what we can hope to see. Once on the boat we were all made to feel comfortable immediately and before long we were seeing a humpback whale breach! Lunch was so nice on the boat. The food was great just like the rest of the tour was. Cannot wait to come back again :)
We had previously booked two double kayaks through a different business, but the boats that they had were too small for the 5 day trip that we had planned. Spirit of the West really saved the day! Our two touring style, fiberglass boats fit all of our gear and then some. They also handled amazing in the wind and waves. Gasbar delivered our boats right to Rebecca spit. They had great customer care and we were met punctually after our trip too! We saw humpback whales and seals daily, sea otters, dolphins and orcas. Definitely a trip that our family will cherish the memories from, for a lifetime ️
I cannot recommend Spirit of the West highly enough. I did the Orca Lite tour with my girlfriend. This is a tour best suited for those with some outdoor experience/skills (eg setting up a tent). Group size was not too big (10 people plus guides). Our guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The food was excellent, they offer a range of dietary options. We ordered vegan food and received really excellent food the whole trip (often better than what I could get in most cafes!). We spent a good amount of time on the water and saw a great variety of wildlife. It was worth every dollar we spent on it and more.
My wife and I did the 4 days/3 nights Whales & Wilderness Glamping tour in early July, 2019. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about this adventure. We are in our mid-60’s and had only kayaked a couple of times previously, yet found ourselves well able to kayak with the rest of the group. We did find that using a double kayak made things much easier as one paddler can take a break periodically while the other keeps you moving. We greatly enjoyed the company of our fellow glampers. We heard (from our bed in the morning!) and saw humpback whales every day and saw orcas the one day when on the boat tour that was part of the package. The scenery is outstanding, and we are BC residents who you might think are used to it. Neil the chef did a great job of keeping us more than we’ll fed with delicious food and a glass of wine. Our tour guides were extremely helpful and worked very hard the entire day to take care of us. The beds were very comfortable, my wife particularly enjoyed the hot water bottle made up each night that kept our bed toasty warm. It was nice to enjoy a hot shower in the outdoors. We took our showers in late afternoon to avoid the morning rush. A highlight each day was a soak in the hot tub right at water’s edge. We highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a true adventure in the Canadian wilderness.
