Outstanding! - Outstanding! We went in the spring bear and waterfall tour and the zodiac four hour whale watching experience. The guides on both tours were extremely knowledgable and enthusiastic and really cared about both our experience and that of the wildlife. We were extremely lucky to see bears, humpbacks and orcas. We also got to see eagles, seals, sea lions and other birds galore. Couldn’t rate the company or guides more highly! (The lunch in the all day tour was great too!).

Bear and Waterfalls Tour Superb - The weather was not in our favour with rain and high winds causing the tour to be lengthened but the poor weather was more than compensated for by a great skipper a tour guide Bex. The food and drink of excellent quality and the wildlife didn't seem to mind the weather.

Everything we wanted in a wildlife tour! - Brad (hopefully remembered right) was amazing captain and spotter. We saw Orca, Humpbacks, Porpoise, Sea Lions, Seals and 3 Black Bears. It was a fun day out. Was nice talking to him about island life as well.

An amazing day out on the boat, delivered what was written on the tin. Bears, grizzly and black and beautiful scenery - Second time we have visited Vancouver Island and been on a tour. The second time did not fail to live up to expectations. An amazing day! The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and go that extra mile to ensure you see something and have a change to photograph it. Definitely will revisit and recommend to anyone travelling to the island.

Spectacular from start to finish! - A first-class fun 6 hours spent with with Captain Jessica and Tyler who is training. Both were very friendly and served up a delicious lunch. I would like to also mention Bri who books the trips and always goes above and beyond with her friendly ways. We saw many beautiful waterfalls and a beautiful black bear eating barnacles on shore. I highly recommend this awesome tour company!
