This experience was absolutely exhilarating and is a must for anyone visiting Victoria. Be prepared to get wet, but witnessing the whales in their natural habitat is truly breathtaking. It’s an unforgettable adventure that we've now ticked off our bucket list.
The zodiac tour was fantastic, and the guide was both friendly and well-informed. Additionally, the customer service was outstanding; they went out of their way to return my sunglasses that I had left in my overalls.
This experience was incredibly enjoyable. It's not suitable for young children or those who can't handle a rough ride; my elderly relatives opted out. However, we spotted many whales and our captain was fantastic.
This experience was enjoyable, secure, and packed with excitement. For those seeking adventure, going whale watching on a Zodiac is definitely the best choice.
I had an amazing time on my first Zodiac ride. The crew was fantastic and really informed, providing interesting commentary throughout the trip while ensuring we were all comfortable with the bumpy ride. We spotted giant sea lions, bald eagles, deer, and sheep, and even ended the adventure with a humpback whale sighting.
What an incredible experience! My wife and I participated in the 3-hour Zodiac tour limited to 12 people, and our guide Ryan was extremely knowledgeable and skilled at navigating the boat. We were lucky enough to witness a humpback whale diving and surfacing several times, and Ryan also found six Biggs Killer Whales, which was truly amazing. I highly recommend this tour.
This was an incredible experience! Skipper Jake really put in the effort to locate whales, and we were fortunate enough to see a humpback. He was personable and professional, displaying a strong knowledge of marine science. I truly appreciated his dedication to finding the humpback. The scenery was stunning as we navigated through the San Juan Islands on a perfectly tranquil ocean.
We thoroughly enjoyed our whale watching adventure on a Rib Boat. Our knowledgeable captain and guide assisted us in spotting a pod of Orcas and highlighted other wildlife during our journey, which extended beyond 3 hours. While parts of the ride were somewhat bumpy, it added to the overall excitement. Highly recommended.
I had an excellent tour led by Liam, Kevin, and Gordon. They were fantastic and brought us incredibly close to the orcas and sea lions.
This tour exceeded our expectations. We were treated to a fantastic experience, seeing humpback whales and a pod of six orcas, including calves, all relaxing in one spot for an hour, which was quite rare.
