This was a wonderful birthday treat. We live in Victoria but whale watching never gets old! I was really pleased with the Covid protocols in place as I was a bit nervous about that but they had procedures in place that made me comfortable enough to enjoy the morning out. We saw whales in the first few moments and then quite close to shore...just down the street where we live! Walk there all the time and have never seen whales! We went out to Race Rocks and saw loads of seals and sea lions before heading further out and we then saw 7 whales. Our guide was the perfect balance of information and jus letting the experience happen. It was super sunny and just a gorgeous day. You're never sure what you capture in photos and videos but I was thrilled with the pictures and video I took. It was the perfect way to spend my birthday.

Love the lifetime warranty! If you don't see a whale, you can come back for free. Informative guides, comfortable boat. Great trip!

It was an amazing experience! Sat in the front, captain checked on us a couple times to make sure the speed was okay with us. We were able to see a few groups of orcas and other wildlife such as seals, sea lions, and otter. Will definitely recommend to others!

We had the ultimate experience on 24th December. We were with 8 people on the boat and came upon a group of humpbacks. The captain guided us to the most active humpback. The whale '2 spots' stayed close to the boat for 1/2 hour. We made beautiful pictures and videos. Thanks captain.

I will start by saying that we did not see any whales on our trip, which is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. Everything else about the trip was excellent. The two girls were very informative, energetic, they were knowledgeable to the questions that I asked. I sat on top of the boat, right behind the driver, so I could hear their conversations over the radio regarding whale sightings. These companies all work together in order to find the whales, if we didn't see them, there were a lot of other people who also didn't see whales. I would recommend a trip if you are in Victoria, just understand that the ocean is big, and whales might not be seen on your day. Enjoy it for what it is worth!
