My experience was amazing! The views of the ocean and the whales were breathtaking and indescribable when put to words. The naturalists were informative of the whales and the other animals that we saw during the boat tour. I recommend this tour and seeing for yourself!

Great time on Orcas Express with Drew, Beth and Audrey. Got to see a transient pod of about 5 orcas together. Fun time, but would not recommend bringing children under 10, as it’s a long trip and the whales would be hard to spot for younger kids. This was my first whale watching trip and we weren’t as close as I imagined (200 yards out) but it was still fun.

We went on the tour with our grandchildren ages 6 &4 years old. We had to go a long ways out to view the Orcas. It was quite a sight with a pod of whales jumping about on a chase after a prey. The children enjoyed it but were tired after the long boat ride . I would have waited till they were older to experience this. Our guide was very informative and friendly. We learned some interesting facts. The boat was comfortable but you have to carry your beverages and snacks. I felt that for the price charged, they could have offered more .
