A puffer was sufficient on deck with a very sinched hat (next time I'd opt for a tight beanie to avoid being stressed about losing the hat). Nice boat, it wasn't overcrowded, and having an indoor cabin was a perk for those who wanted to take a break from the wind. Crew was friendly and knowledgeable. We saw orcas, sealions, and lots of birds. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience and I'd definitely recommend.

Followed this humpback straight to another, then another and then even more! After seeing some whales, we went out to find more wildlife. Elephant seal, harbor seals and steller sea lions and Bald Eagles on the coastline. Granted, no orcas this time, but what an amazing tour! Crew is awesome and very knowledgeable. Showed them one picture and they knew exactly which whale was sighted. Blueberry buckle fresh outta the oven, hot chocolate and plenty of snacks on board. Plenty of safe parking near the harbor and gift shop after the tour. Book a tour and you will not be disappointed!

They even took pictures during our trip and sent to everyone after the trip. Loved the whole trip and will do again next time we are in Victoria! Highly recommended.

My mind is still reeling from all that we saw. We followed a gathering of 19 orcas for more than an hour. Exceeded every bucket list dream I ever had, for seeing these animals! Simon is very, very knowledgeable; he also collects data for Canada Fisheries, so he knew the pods and individuals we were watching. And that wasn't all. We were guided to view a Humpback whale, 2 kinds of sea lion, seals, bald eagles, and even an island which had been stocked as an exotic game preserve, and still has wild animals from other parts of the world roaming around it. There were only 9 people, plus the skipper, so everybody had a great view of everything. And the boats are really fast, so they can go quite a distance in the search for those ever-moving orcas. An experience of a lifetime...even if (like me) you've taken many other whale-watching excursions.

Great for kids too. These boats are fast, you will see so much and cover incredible distances. Don't worry there is a WC on board for emergencies! Sign your paperwork, get your sunscreen on, and suit up in your warm floatation suit/life vest. Keep your phone handy as you will see all sorts of wildlife along the way, seals, eagles, eagle nests, then the killer whales. It's amazing how you can check the binder and identify each pod by name with their offspring. On our way back as we returned to dock we even had a bonus viewing of some whales right in Cowichan bay.

We saw 8 whales, 2 humpbacks and a family of 6 orcas. The orcas were killing a seal! The humpbacks were a mother and baby. Alex told us all about the whales and a bunch of additional wildlife that we saw. They do a great job of communicating with other boats to notify where whales are or have been seen. At the end they provide a map of where you went, names, birth years, of the whales along with Alex's professional grade photos airdropped to our phone right then and there. They both really care about the area and even stopped to pick up litter. The boat gets bumpy when its windy but we just laughed and enjoyed it. We will most likely do their tour again one day when we come back. Hands down one of my best memories in life.
