It was a cool, overcast day, so we had excellent visibility out at sea without being blinded by the sun. We saw pods of orcas, Dall's porpoises, humpback whales, and Pacific white-sided dolphins; on land, we even spotted bald eagles and a family of black-tailed deer. Briar shared a wealth of fascinating information about whales, and her passion for the subject really shone through. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Unreliable. Sail at your own risk!…read more Harbour Cruises of Vancouver completely failed to deliver on the promise of their Indian Arm cruise. They claimed smoke in the engine room and limped back to port before we even turned into the Arm. Other reviews have reported unexplained itinerary changes that eliminated the main part of the trip. One has to wonder if they don't go up the Arm simply to save money when it's not fully booked or if their boats are that unreliable. While I understand mechanical issues, their compensation policy was completely inadequate. They offered a free drink on board and a coupon for 15% off a future cruise. Anyone booking on the internet can get a 20% discount off any cruise! After much back and forth they finally offered a 20% refund. The final price after this discount was approximately double the price of a narrated harbor tour. We received an un-narrated tour of the container port instead of a tour of the natural environment, which is what we were promised. We feel cheated by Harbour Cruises of Vancouver. Sail at your own risk!

We were happy just to get out on the water and explore, but were lucky enough to witness a wealth of beautiful sea creatures. We saw humpback whales, then a playful pod of Harbour Popoise put on an amazing show. The grand finale was a pod of majestic orcas that I'll never forget. We went on a rainy cooler day and we had the best time. The boat ride alone was super fun and i had a perma smile the whole time. You can really tell that Mike and Sarah have a passion for sharing this experience with others. They also emailed us pics from our adventure. Thanks again Mike and Sarah and we hope to see you soon.

Seriously disappointed. Mike seemed like a nice guy but my family and another family were flat out…read morebaffled by the lie he told us. He no-showed us after we both paid-in-full for an evening sail, and additionally, heard him confirm with the visitor guide team that we was available. (I heard his voice through the phone) Only later to tell us he didn't see any bookings and hadn't heard from anyone about booking a sail. Our guess is Mike didn't see it worth the time due to the limited number of bookings. (It was only 5 of us total for the evening. Mike told me the afternoon sail was 22.) I can totally understand the business case of not wanting to take 5 people out, but how about setting up a system that lets the patron(s) know this well in advance. We lost an evening of not sailing but also the lost opportunity to the other things that were going to do at the same time. Disappointing...

We saw sea lions, two humpbacks, and the T13 orca pod. So, we got pretty lucky from a wildlife perspective. The captain, first mate, and naturalists were nice, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and just fun. Bottomline, this is what you are paying for. Hopefully, you see whales but the company cannot control the wildlife. The idea is to have a good time regardless of what nature has to throw at you. For reference, the boat ride takes a lot longer than the actual viewing so the crew being entertaining is more important. We had a great time.

We just got back from an overnight trip with Olympic Coast Sailing. It was an amazing experience!…read more We sailed on the Ingrid Princess with Captain Tracy Hollister from Sequim Bay (John Wayne Marina) to Lopez Island (Fisherman Bay Marina) in the San Juan Islands. Captain Tracy is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced sailor. He is also very familiar with maritime history and the local wildlife. As he entertained us with stories of his sailing adventures in the South Pacific, and his solo, 49-day trip from Japan to Oregon, my fear of being out in the open water dissipated and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. My husband--an experienced sailor--loved every minute of it, particularly because Captain Tracy let him take the helm. Captain Tracy worked with us to plan our trip. When he learned we wanted to bring our bikes, he suggested Lopez Island because it is bike friendly and fairly flat. He secured our bikes to the side rail and then carefully covered them with bike bags to protect them from the salt water. When we arrived at Fisherman Bay, we attached our panniers and biked .75 miles to Edenwild Boutique Inn. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the island on our bikes! Being on Lopez Island feels like taking a step back in time--everyone smiles and waves. It's a magical place. Our trip was satisfying on so many levels and we definitely intend to sail with Captain Tracy again. We highly recommend this crossing for anyone who enjoys being outdoors.
