It's great to hear that your guide made the trip fun, engaging, and informative. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in the future.
Another great experience with Eagle Eye. My annual birthday treat and again I was not disappointed. Captain Bananas was a most delightful tour guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly, you could tell she adores her job. She kept a respectful distance from the whales. We saw orca peacefully swimming along and we didn’t need to travel far, as there were lots of humpbacks out that day. Whilst enjoying our drink and snack, with the engine off, 3 humpbacks decided to arrive and swim right underneath us. Exhilarating! A memory which will last for a lifetime!💐
Thank you so much for celebrating your birthday with us again! We're honoured to be part of your annual tradition. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to Captain Bananas—she'll be thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed her knowledge, enthusiasm, and respectful approach to wildlife viewing. Seeing both orcas and humpbacks, especially having three humpbacks swim right beneath the boat, is truly an unforgettable experience, and we're so glad you got to witness such a magical moment. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We look forward to welcoming you back for your next birthday adventure!
This was the highlight of our time on Vancouver! We did get see humpback whales! Sea lions too! They are noisy! Spotted many eagles & they are amazing! Saw many other sights around the area. Gibson has lived there for years & knows a lot of history & knowledge of the area & waters! Great time!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're happy your tour was the highlight of your time in Vancouver. Seeing humpback whales, sea lions, and bald eagles all on the same trip is always something special! Gibson will be delighted to hear your kind words. His passion for the local history, wildlife, and waters is what makes every tour unique, and we're so glad it made your experience even more memorable. Thank you for joining us and for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure the next time you're in Vancouver!
I highly recommend this whale watching company. Our 4 -hour excursion was unforgettable as we were lucky enough to see whales, dolphins, porpoise, otters, sea lions and black eagle. Our tour operator, Raphael, was exceptional . He was extremely patient and dedicated to tracking down the wildlife even staying overtime to ensure we had the best possible experience. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is outstanding.

We hope to welcome you back on the water for another unforgettable trip!
Compared to the 2 other whale watching tours we have done, this was the most disappointing. The guide barely shared any knowledge, one got the impression he prefers just driving the boat. The distances were very far, even regarding the sea lions, which one supposedly always sees, not much was explained. The weather was great and the sea calm, we were lucky there. We saw humpback whales, but other marine mammals were then not searched for at all anymore.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, especially in comparison to your previous whale-watching tours. We appreciate your comments regarding the guiding and the level of information provided. Our goal is to offer an engaging and educational experience, and we're disappointed to hear that this was not your impression. Your feedback will be shared with our team as we continuously work to improve. We're glad you were able to enjoy the beautiful weather, calm seas, and the opportunity to see humpback whales. While every tour is different and wildlife sightings are always unpredictable, our guides generally adapt the itinerary based on conditions, wildlife activity, and the well-being of the animals. We understand, however, that you would have appreciated more effort to look for additional marine wildlife and more interpretation throughout the trip. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We value your comments and hope you'll consider giving us another opportunity to provide the experience we strive to deliver.
The trip today was fantastic. Captain Bananas (Maeva) took good care of her passengers in English and if necessary in French. Wherever she could take a more comfortable route on this windy day, she did. With care, attention and patience we were transported in the rib boat. We got to see seals, sea lions and humpback whales. We enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic time on the water with Captain Bananas (Maeva). We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Maeva—she'll be thrilled to know that her care, professionalism, and multilingual guidance made such a positive impression. We're also glad you were able to enjoy a comfortable ride despite the windy conditions and, of course, that you had the chance to see seals, sea lions, and humpback whales! Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in the future!
We had a lovely sunny day for the trip. But there was a lot of wind. Our guide. Captain Banana was brilliant and explained that the water was choppy and we may have to come back if it gets dangerous. Choppy ws an understatement 🤣 We were drenched and hit some mega waves.... But finally we got to see not 1 but 4 humpback whales put on an incredible acrobatic display for us! It was incredible. We did have to cut the tour short (about 1/1.5 hrs early 😞) as it became a little dangerous. This was a little disappointing after paying for the 4hr tour, but Captain Banana got us back safely to the harbour and I suppose they cannot control the weather.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted that you were able to enjoy a sunny day on the water and witness such an incredible display from four humpback whales. Encounters like that are truly unforgettable. We're also pleased to hear that Captain Banana kept everyone informed throughout the trip and prioritized safety as conditions changed. While we understand the disappointment of having to return early, guest safety is always our top priority, especially when weather and sea conditions become unpredictable. Thank you for your understanding regarding the shortened tour. Although we can't control the weather, we're glad Captain Banana was able to get everyone back safely and that you still had the opportunity to enjoy some amazing whale sightings along the way. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you aboard again under calmer seas in the future!
I really enjoyed my 4-hour tour, during which we were lucky enough to spot several orcas: two large males and two groups of females with their calves. It was an unforgettable experience. Josh is an excellent guide—patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He took the time to share fascinating insights about the orcas and ensured that everyone on board had a great experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see marine wildlife up close in a respectful and well-organized setting.

His passion for marine wildlife and dedication to providing an informative and enjoyable experience are qualities we greatly value. We’ll be sure to share your feedback with him. Thank you for recommending us. We appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back on the water for another incredible wildlife adventure in the future!
