Great experience. Was very lucky to see humpback whales and orca’s. Very well organised by lovely crew and great shuttle driver from downtown. Can’t go wrong with this operator.
I had a wonderfull experience. They are very professionnal and everything was over my expectations. They want you to have a good experience. The guide was providing informations and the boat was respecting the distance from the animals. The boat also felt safe. We saw some humpbacks, orcas hunting, seals and sealions. 100% recommend.
Captain Scotty and crew members Ken and Dion were absolutely amazing and did not disappoint! They definitely know where to go — we were so fortunate to see both humpback whales and orcas up close. Ken and Dion were a wealth of knowledge and shared so much fascinating information about both species throughout the excursion. You could tell how passionate and experienced they are, which made the experience even more special. It was truly an amazing day and an unforgettable experience! I would 100 percent do this excursion again and highly recommend Captain Scotty and his crew to anyone looking for an incredible whale watching adventure in Vancouver!
Amazing experience, we’re able to see several humpbacks and a pod of orcas along with seals. Dion was really helpful and knowledgable and happy to answer any questions we had, would certainly recommend to others!
Amazing experience! Crew was so knowledgeable and considerate and ensured we found and saw both humpback and killer whales (orcas). We had 4 hours on the water in a comfortable Zodiac vessel, with ample time for viewing whales from all different angles. Naturalists on board gave information about each species, the area, their history, and their conservation and education efforts. Even spotted some other wildlife (seals, sea lions, bald eagles)! Was a treat!
Amazing experience! It was such a great trip and overall great atmosphere on the boat. Highly recommend
Great experience. We saw humpback and orcas in our 4 hours on the water. Recommend to take lunch with you as you will be back mid afternoon.
Great whale watching tour with Captain Scotty, Brin and one other naturalist. They were able to find both orca and humpback whales, seals, and sea lions. The information they share with us was very interesting and the boat was clean and comfortable. We would absolutely book with them again or recommend them to friends and family who are traveling to Vancouver!
Fantastic experience. Great guides who knew the area well. We saw a family of Orca and a humpback plus a bald Eagle and seals. Definitely recommend
Fantastic morning from start to finish. Included free informative shuttle bus from downtown Vancouver to Stevenson to join boat. All staff were very pleasant, helpful & knowledgeable. Fabulous to see several Orca, which we followed for a long time & a few Humpbacks too. Also saw an Eagle on some rocks & a seal when coming back into port. Great conditions. Water not at all choppy. Highly recommend
