A small company and to my joy they had a late afternoon evening outing so I could join in after work. It was a fabulous trip and this trip was fantastic - a small group but we were able to find the Orca whales thanks to the network of boats who report sightings.We saw Bald Eagles, seals and Sea Lions...

Simon (owner) of Ocean EcoVentures was a fantastic guide & accommodated our family of 5 on a very short notice late in afternoon - a calm sunny evening (4:30-8pm) - as we were the only whale boat on the water! We were able to see 4-5 transient orca killer wales (spent a few hours following them), headed into USA waters... More

EcoVentures were recommended to us by the staff of the camping site we stayed, and boy, they were right ! All efforts were made to make our evening a great succes, and even time was no problem (we stayed longer then planned out in vancouver bay to fully enjoy every opportunity); pictures have been shared and we just had a...

Really appreciated Simon being upfront and honest that a whale sighting may not happen. We took the chance anyway and we're fortunate to see not only a golden eagle but 2 Orcas as well. Loved the ride on the quick Zodiac. Simon was excellent at educating us on everything we saw and nice enough to offer copies of the professional... More

Our first contact with Ocean EcoVenture is through their website and the great reviews on TripAdvisor. We were not disappointed. Simon and Lance are not only passionate and very knowledgeable about whales - resident or transient, but are genuinely concerned about the environment and other marine life. Not only did we see lots of whales, the trip itself going pass... More

This was our second time out with Simon, having taken some friends from Germany last year. Simon is very passionate and knowledgeable about all the marine mammals that live and travel through our...

April 6, 2013 First, I would like to express my admiration and gratitude for Simon. He is an incredible man. From the time I contacted him, two months prior to our “expedition”, he was informative, genuine, and forthright. And, on the day of our trip he was excited (even after 11 years of doing this job)! Enough so that he... More

Our grown up Daughter is hard to by for now so we thought a whale watching trip would be a different experience. Four of us went, we all had a lovely time and we were out for 4 hours. They even had warm pull on hats and gloves as well as the all-in-one suite to keep us warm. A great... More

Our family trip consisted in ages ranging from 6yrs to 70 yrs . It was a great experience for all of us . Simon our guide made us feel very safe and comfortable in the Zodiac . Even though there was only a 60 % chance of seeing whales it was well worth the trip to see the sea lions... More
