Can’t go wrong here – We did a 4 hour whale watching trip. The only downside was not seeing orca, which had left the area, but the company couldn’t do anything about that. What we… read more did see was thirteen humpbacks and loads of sea otters. An excellent, informative trip in a good, stable boat.
This operator is knowledgeable committed and and inspiring. It makes a difference. We went out to see orcas and got humpbacks. A grizzly sea lions and seals and so many… read more orcas. Then there was the soup and tasty desserts. Oh yes. Also a super mini lecture on the importance of sustaining this awesome part of the planet. I would gladly have paid more, the staff was brilliant and motivated beyond the confines of a job. What an experience! My husband and I will never forget this trip and we’ve done many whale watching trips around the world.
Wonderful experience – Wonderful trip. We did see some orcas, and the crew had so many great stories to share about their life near Port McNeill. They are locals and it was so… read more interesting. The captain and host knew a lot about the various species. They went to great lengths to get us to the orcas. There is so much beauty here and they let us just soak it in while they headed back to McNeill. So worth the trip!
