Always a great ride. The boat is very large and fast. The captain knows the area quite well.

Captain Bill Mackay is a seasoned veteran of these waters and a naturalist. On our tour we say orcas, humpbacks, sea lions and dolphins. Though I had some reluctance about going on a whale watching tour, I felt we always stayed respectful of these beautiful creatures and we learned a lot about them from Captain Bill's knowledge and decades of experience. I gained a deeper appreciation and love for the orcas and the Salish Sea after this tour. Highly recommended!
Really great outfit. They find the whales and give you a nice lunch to boot. Great people in the most beautiful part of the Northern Hemisphere. The Broughton Archipelago. Let's try to keep it that way!!
The most incredible and moving experience of my life. Not just watching orca but hearing them too. And our Captain's enthusiasm and informative talk was truly inspiring. Wish I could do it all again. Thank you for your keeping them safe. Not to mention the humpbacks and other wildlife! Amazing.
All around excellent! We were out for five hours total since we had to head way east to find the orcas, after spending more than an hour with the humpbacks. All the commercial boats share whale locations, so I think you'd see whales no matter what, but I chose Mackay because - longest outing (plus soup for lunch) - small family business - price was actually cheapest, too (we got 10% off the posted price as a family group over 4 people) Word to the wise: you will get more out of it if you are on top where the you can hear what the captain / guide are saying
We saw great views of the Orcas and Whales. A disappointment was the lack of communication to the full passenger quota. Passengers on the upper deck got good guide information. Only one third were able to get the info. A boat-wide narrative would improve the tour very much. Vern
What a great day! The Captain was funny, welcoming and knowledgeable, the boat was comfortable and safe, and the wildlife was amazing! The orcas were a little elusive today, although we did see a few, but the big show was the dolphins and sea lions swimming together amongst the humpbacks! It was a rainy, wet day, but the heated cabin and the hot soup for lunch kept everybody in good spirits. Definitely a great day and I would highly recommend this company!
Mackay Whale Watching was an awesome experience.If you haven't booked a reservation on the Niad Explorer please do it for the start of next season.You will not regret it.The Captain and his wife Donna will show you the best time ever.This is coming from a 30 year veteran of the whale watching tour.
