    Great staff Great services and location We did the whale watching tour with Andrew and we did indeed find whales , porpoises , seals and seal lions . For 150.00 per person and a 5-6 hr day it is well worth the investment. A lot of fun , remember to bring snacks and water for the trip . Throughly enjoyed our day on the water .

    A tail wave .. haha

    Me and my girlfriends went on a whale watching tour and we were so impressed by the way our captain Andrew handled the boat, such a smooth ride ! And we saw not only Orcas and Humpbacks but so much other wildlife. Having Zoë who is a marine biologist and the owner of the company now on board was a bonus as we got to learn so much about the area and animals ! Also we loved catching the tour from inside the Gulf Islands. We have gone from Vancovuer before and leaving from Salt Spring cut down travelling time on the open ocean for over a hour each way just to get to the whales. We took off through the beautiful gulf islands in calm waters and it was amazing how much nicer it was than leaving from Vancouver. We actually had 4 hours of observation not 2 hours of open ocean travel time. I would highly recommend getting into the gulf islands and leaving from there for your exploring. You can ferry or fly in. The staff made us feel very safe and were so experienced and gave such good service !! We are planning to go back and do the all day kayaking trip. Great company to go with if you want to explore the beautiful and wild Gulf Islands in a small group and safe Experince!

    Great kayak around goat island. Guide Michaela was wonderful, knowledgeable, accommodating and safe. Wish we were staying longer and we would do another tour with her.

    Some parking lot practice :)

    Rented a double scooter. The bike was prepped and ready for our arrival and service was polite and thorough. We booked for 24 hrs orginally and had a situation come up where we had to return early and to our surprise were given a discount back as we didn't rent the scooter for the full amount of time. Would rent from here again and again!

    We took the tour yesterday, with Simon as our skipper/guide. Although this tour cost about twice as…read moremuch as the "cattle boat" tours in some other places, it is 10 times the experience! 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.

    Such a fun way to learn about the Orcas and to see them hunting and feeding from your small group…read moreof 10 on a Zodiac. Don't hesitate, just do it. You will not regret this amazing experience. 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.
