Ian R.

We had an incredible snorkeling tour. Water was rough so we spent a little extra time traveling to a safe location. Once there, the snorkeling was a blast. On our way back we were blessed to see 4 humpback whales at the very end of the season. It was an incredible experience. The supplied breakfast and lunch were a very nice touch. Staff was very friendly and are undoubtedly experts in their fields. If you want to get on the water, I definitely recommend going with the experts.

Nicolina B.

Fantastic experience. The 1st mates knowledge of whales was impressive. We were there the last week of February and we saw a pod of spinning dolphins just outside the harbor. We saw over 1 dozen whales and got more than our money's worth.At one point in the adventure a male whale went under our boat and the whale song could be heard perfectly without the use of a microphone.

Keith T.

The store had something for everyone. But the whale finding/watching was by far the best money ever spent. The crew of all women were totally awesome. Knowledgeable, flexible, and just as excited as we were to see the whale"show,".

Cinda C.

A MUST DO! The team is absolutely amazing and so nice. The experience was so relaxing and magical. I cannot recommend this more. Jessica, Dana, and the other crew members were amazing. Thank you so much for an amazing experience

Taeylor G.

I call this the poor man's dinner cruise. Food and drinks were good. One man and his guitar provided the music. Waiters looked like they worked on the boat in the morning and cleaned up and acted as waiters for the cruise. Very friendly though. Didn't care much for the area around the departure point. Had to hunt for parking on the side streets.

Rich C.

Did a 3 hour whale watching tour on the catamaran. Was incredible experience, saw a ton of whales, one even came right up to the boat to investigate. Also heard whale songs below the boat with my bare ear. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

TheNhestbech .

Went on the 9am whale watch. Saw our first whale at 0908 AM. Awesome mix of both sides of the boat so everyone could see. Had several breaches. Super informative and supporting a non profit. Had a couple sea sensitive people in our group that were fine with a ginger pill. Highly recommend! Awesome experience!!!

Chris J.

Had an amazing time and saw plenty whales. We did the early morning whale watching sail tour. Captain Anna, Jack, and Desmond did a great job and were very informative. We also did the Captain's sunset dinner tour and Heddie was really friendly and informative as well. We couldn't have asked for better service!

Tonya M.

Whale watch with an experienced team who are also researchers. I experienced whale watching while learning about their behaviours, history and conservation efforts. If you’re looking for a tour where you can also feel good supporting and protecting wildlife then this tour is for you. The whales came so close to us we had to cut the engines as they were inside the 100yard range and the whales came closer to check us out. We had a mother calf on both sides and it was incredible and quiet too. There was a distinct reverence for what we were witnessing. As soon as the whales moved away a safe distance we started up and moved away to give them a break from us tourist. We went off in search of new ones. We also saw dolphins and you know it’s good when the people who do this day in and day our are beyond excited. What an amazing trip!!

Jenna and Lianna were our captain and guide on the boat. We went on the latest guide out. Parking was hard to find so try to come early. Bring a sweater...

Jennah K.

We did a 7am snorkeling tour with Pacific Whale Foundation and it was worth every penny. Both the locations were great and we had fun snorkeling. Being our first time snorkeling, the crew made sure we were comfortable in the water and helped us in every way possible. We also saw lot of whales throughout the tour. The crew was friendly and took great care with food and drinks. I would highly recommend this snorkeling tour.

Joya P.

What a great experience. First at their store Andrea was awesome, she helped book our dinner cruise and was extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable! My parents were visiting so I wanted to take them on something special. John was the captain and Dylan our server and it was fantastic. Whales everywhere, breaching and with calves. The sunset was breathtaking and the food was excellent. The entire crew was awesome. We loved it. We stopped by store after cruise to thank Andrea. Highly recommend!

Glenn R.

Exceeded every expectation. This was absolutely wonderful. Captain Paul was fantastic (extra points for saying how awesome my shirt was) and the crew were very knowledgeable and friendly. The snorkeling was amazing: beautiful location, plenty of time, and TONS of fish. We got to swim with a sea turtle, so... It was great!

Stephen V.

Great attention to detail and a wonderful sunset dinner cruise. Friendly staff and great crew. Feels a little rushed but they were missing one of the waiters. I don't know if it would have changed anything but would I would go again.
