A must do

Andy Pullinger Friday June 23, 2023

I had already seen an Orca a few days before, but the trip was still well worth doing. We were warned it was a bit windy so could be a bit choppy. I do not travel well on water; we were given the option to rebook another day if needed, but we decided to go for it. The catamaran boat handled the waves exceptionally and nobody was ill the whole trip. The captain was looking out for Orcas the whole time and soon found a family of three. Keeping our distance we were able to view and follow them for ages. Again the guides were extremely knowledgable and passionate about the Orcas. The return trip was even more fun; I assumed the captain was late for dinner because we flew across the crashing waves! Everybody thoroughly enjoyed it.

Most memorable. Saw a pod of 30 whales

Great activity, despite capricious weather

(Translated by Google) The weather deteriorated in the second half. Despite all that, we saw 1 orca and 2 humpback whales, seals, sea lions, an eagle and lots of birds.
Provide a small snack.
