We went on the whale watching tour with Bobby and Andrew, both were very upbeat, friendly and full of information. We saw lots of wildlife including 3 orcas! - one jumping out of the water!! A trip everyone should take whilst on Orcas Island, we cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you guys

Let’s start with the positive, the captain, Jake, was friendly, knowledgeable, and as helpful as he could be under the circumstances. If I were to rate him, it would be 5 stars. Unfortunately management of Outer Island Excursion informed us at the last minute when we were standing on the dock of a booking mistake. There were not enough people on the boat to make it profitable. They offered a shortened trip to unproductive fishing grounds or a refund. I came 3000 miles across the country to Orcas Island in part to enjoy a salmon fishing trip and this was my last day on the island. They had already bumped me from a previously scheduled day to this one because they didn’t have a large enough group to fish. The other party on the boat had a 5 year old son who was eager to fish. So cancellation was out of the question. Since it was their fault that they made a booking mistake, we asked for a reduced price, but they wouldn’t budge. At any price, but particularly at a cost of $250, I expect a company to value a customer’s experience. Predictably, the trip was a bust and we only caught 1 salmon despite the fact that there were productive fishing grounds which we scheduled to fish in the original booking. Incidentally, we went with the same company on a Whale Watch the evening before and witnessed rude treatment of customers at the check in counter.

This is the worst company to deal with, there are much better whale watching companies in the area!! Got bumped from the boat and couldn't get to Orcas island. They wouldn't give me a refund!! The owner, Beau Brandow, acted like he had no control over the outsource company he uses!! Total crap! Awful business!!
