Captain Dan and wife Denise provided us with a truly awesome whale watching adventure recently! Dan knew where the whales were, and we went into Canadian waters to view the Orcas. Denise provided an ongoing description of where we were, who the whales were and histories of many of them. The boat was perfect, providing both inside (warm) and outside viewing capabilities -- especially on the top with a 360 degree view of the waters. In addition to Orcas, we also saw eagles, Harbor seals and Stellar Seals. The boat was well equipped with interesting and informational reading materials and pictures, binoculars, soft drinks (both cold and hot) and snacks. We were a little concerned about getting seasick, but were assured that the boat was equipped with stabilizers, so even tho the water was choppy in places, the boat offered a smooth ride. NO problems!! We were lucky to see three breaches and many tail slaps, so picture taking opportunities were many. We would highly recommend taking a trip with Dan and Denise, and hope to return again next year. Their gift shop on the island was great also, so many shopping opportunities. Thanks Dan and Denise!!!
