Late September trip, lots to see – We went towards the end of September and I was worried that all the whales would have left. The orcas had left, but we saw lots!!!! of humpback whales,… read more sea lions, porpoises, an eagle, and lots of beautiful scenery. I have done whale watching before, so I was a little weary of what had happened before….race over there, see the back of a whale….race over there…same thing. But this was far different. They must know where to go, as we would drive fast to an area, and then watch for whales to appear. And they could tell you who they were by their tail markings. So we did see the backs, but also their blowholes, and their tails and on one occasion, it came far above the surface and then splashed down. Also 2 or 3 different islands where different varieties of sea lions lived, along with an eagle perched on a tree. And porpoises that swam along the boat and gave quite the show. And lots of information as well. Well worth the money.
5 great trips all being very different with sightings of Orca, Humpback, Sea otters, Dallas Porpoise,… read more Dolphin, Sea lions, Seals, Bald Eagles, GRIZZLY BEARS, Black bears, Birds and much, much more ! The scenery is spectacular.
You will learn so much about the wild life with Bill and his amazing crew !
If your in Port McNeill or surrounding area you must have a trip out with them !
