Very knowledgeable crew. Didn't see that many animals, but views and weather was perfect. Did get a few good pictures.

What a fun and successful trip. Our captain knew where to go, did not get too close to the whales, and gave everyone ample time to watch and take photos. I've been whale watching before, but this was by far the best and most enjoyable trip I've been on. I can't wait to go again next year.

I’m giving this four stars because the man who answers the phone is pretty damned rude-story about that below. The captain went out of his way yesterday to find orcas, driving 100miles around the islands in four hours, relentlessly searching, and we are eternally grateful to have been able to see these magical sentient beings. It was a beautiful family of four orcas with a new calf, and Katie filled us in on the orca research on this family and other transients, their markings, behaviors, habitat, and other information. She was very informative. We had to go into Canadian waters to see them, which was a blast in and of itself. The weather was amazing. However, the phone call we made to find the location of the meeting place was very annoying. Trip Advisor says is in Eastsound, which is on the north side of the island, and when we called about the confusing directions, the man sounded very testy when he said it was by the ferry terminal. Obviously, he’s had to do this before. So why not fix the confusing wording so you don’t get sick of telling your paying customers? We told Katie about the wording and she said, I believe prompted by someone, that “Eastsound” is essentially the whole island, and implied that isn’t a problem. Well, unless you live on the island, you’re not going to know that, of course. We get it that dealing with tourists is tedious, but this seems like an easy fix to not have to answer the same question repeatedly, and to not be rude to your customers who are just trying to get to your location. Luckily, the rude person manning the phones didn’t take away from our orca sighting shine.
