Our whale watching excursion was awesome! Captain Pete and naturalist Liberty were super friendly and knowledgeable. Liberty’s enthusiasm and excitement was very contagious. We were very fortunate to not also see orcas but watch the T99 orca pod frolicking, hunting, and catch a porpoise! It was an experience of a lifetime! Would highly recommend.

Excellent whale watching adventure!! I hardly know where to begin?! It was not only a blast but I learned so many things. We all had a really good time and went to able to experience a very special place, the San Juan Islands! I researched a few different tours and this one had the best price and reviews. I AM SO GLAD WE WENT! We took a fun tour out of Orcas Island in Washington and made it to Canada so quickly! I didnt think it would really happen but saw the ORCA WHALES! All the staff made it really fun and our guide was very knowledgeable of the local wildlife that we saw . She taught us about the local resident Orcas and the local Killer Whales! I had no idea there was two kinds! All in all, The trip was just the right amount of time to get to the whales and still see a lot or other wildlife such as Seals (that had new born pups, the cutest thing I have ever seen) lots of bald Eagles, all sorts of Jelly fish, various birds, my favorite are the Conrads, they are hollow and swim really deep! We checked out a safari island, heard some local tall tales and made some new friends! I would recommend this tour to anyone, not just a day with friends but a great option for any age person, great option for larger families to enjoy time together, there was lots of run and the boat was very comfortable. I hope you treat yourself to this once in a lifetime experience, its the perfect way to inexpensively see the islands too. An experience I know my friends and I will forever treasure. Thank You Captain!! We will be back!
