We had a fabulous time on our whale watching excursion. The captain and naturalists were extremely friendly and knowledgable. They seemed to be as excited as the rest of us in seeing everything. We didn't see orcas but did find minke whales, dall porpoises, harbor seals, bald eagles, and more. The dall porpoises were the highlight of the trip, they... More

Excellent organization to work with. Very military friendly as well. There was some question on if I would be able to arrive with a military flight and they were willing to work with us if the flight failed. Incredible effort and skill by the crew. Bottom line the ship on the island coordinates to find the whales, so if they're... More

Thank you so much Katie, Nan, and Captain Peter for taking my family and I around to see the orcas. We were fortunate to see Granny, who was over 102 years old swim by as well as countless other orca family members. It was nothing I could have expected to see. As well as the orcas, we saw many bald... More

May 30, 2013. Went out on the orange zodiac with Captain Ivan and Naturalist Sarah and had a fabulous time. We followed a pod of 4 orcas for about 45 minutes, watched them breach and heard them "talking" to each other via the underwater microphone. Saw seals, minke whales too. Both Ivan and Sarah were very knowledgeable and friendly. I... More

Captain Nate, Naturalist Traci and Sarah, thank you for an amazing experience. Traci was the first to spot the orcas that day before all the other whale tours which meant we had the best crew. We also saw seals, bald eagles and rams. She also e-mailed us photos that she took during the tour. We just relaxed and enjoyed the... More

The resident pods were no where to be founds, but there were some transients up toward the Canadian waters, so off we went. The weather was beautiful, so standing outside was great. It took us probably about an hour to get where the whales were. There were 3 large ones and a baby. We stayed with them for a long... More

Captain Ivan and naturalist Chris were great. Very knowledgeable. The Western Explorer puts you right on the water, it's the only way to go. We got to see a 45 foot humpback whale jump out of the water and slap it's pectoral fins for around an hour, it was one of the coolest things I've ever had the privilege of... More

We had an amazing time on the Western Prince Zodiac boat. We went in mid May and saw 7 transient orcas playing with a seal. The seal got away so he was not lunch to the whales. We saw about 5 eagles and saw several seals. The trip was an amazing experience. The dry suit was comfy and kept us... More

All of my life I had hoped to see Orcas in their natural habitat, so my husband and me (whilst on our honeymoon) took the opportunity to go whale watching whilst staying in Friday Harbour. It was too early in the season for the resident Orcas to have arrived, so it was always a 50/50 chance that we would see... More
