Amazing Experience & Great Team
abdallaha933, October 2026
Great trip! We saw many humpbacks and sealions. We went with 2 small kids and it still was very enjoyable. The boats are great and warm (semi covered) and the staff (Sierra,Hana,Liam,Emma) were all knowledgeable, kind and just great! Recommended 👌
Response from the operator · Brett Soberg

Our team loves making every trip comfortable and fun for guests of all ages, and it means a lot to hear they made your day so special. We’d love to welcome you all aboard again someday. All the best, Tianda

Energetic experience start to finish.
haydenm709, October 2026
A bit expensive, however I assume running that type of business is not cheap. Sierra, Emma Hana and Liam were all great guides. It was a great time seeing the variety of animals that the Salish sea has to offer and being explained facts about them while witnessing them. Already planning for a round 2 on our next visit to Victoria.
Response from the operator · Brett Soberg
Thank you so much for the great review! We're so glad the energy carried through your whole day and that learning about the wildlife in the moment made it extra memorable. We appreciate your understanding on pricing, too. Running trips like these takes a lot behind the scenes, and we're happy you felt it was a great time. We'd love to see you for round two! All the best, Tianda

One of the best Birthdays Ever!!
stellacf2023, October 2026
I have been on several whale watching tours in Victoria and up island. Today was different and perfect- not to mention it was my burthday. I appreciated the convinces of the vessel vs a zodiac: sit inside option, washrooms, coats, hats and mitts available if you needed them. One can move around the outside catwalk of the vessel - so everyone has the chance for a 💯 unobstructed view. Our tour guide was a natural teacher, not just spewing facts but engaging and passionate about the topic. I expect silly appreciated the distinction between what is known and what is speculated about the ocean marine life.
Response from the operator · Brett Soberg
Happy birthday, and thank you for spending it out on the water with us! We're so glad the day felt different and special, even for someone who's been out on a few tours before. Comfort and great views for everyone matter a lot to us, and so does sharing what we know with curiosity and care. We'd love to welcome you aboard for another celebration someday! All the best, Tianda

Best tour ever
beatriztL129VF, September 2026
We had the most awesome experience as we were surrounded by approximately 50 humpbacks - everywhere you turned you’d see 4 or 5 spouts. The guides were truly amazed at the quantity of whales in the area.
Response from the operator · Brett Soberg
What an incredible day to be out on the water! Thank you so much for joining us and for sharing such a great review. Days like that leave even our crew in awe, and we're so glad you got to experience it with us. We'd love to welcome you aboard again. All the best, Tianda

Response from the operator · Brett Soberg
Merci beaucoup d'avoir navigué avec nous et pour ce bel avis! Nous sommes ravis que la sortie vous ait plu et que l'équipage ait contribué à rendre cette journée si mémorable. Ce serait un plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau à bord. All the best, Tianda
