We were called 4 or 5 times to make sure we would show, and told we were sure to see Orca. Got on the boat and told guys were out looking for the whales. They knew the whales were out to sea, yet shuttled us to the far cold Georgia strait only to see seals. What a bummer for the... More

Really impressive! It took us no time at all to reach the pod of whales. Mike impressed me with his knowledge of all things marine. Mike provided great opportunities to view and photograph the whales in actions. Highly recommend this trip. Better than leaving from Victoria as there is no need to spend a lot of time in the boat...

We were all very excited at the prospect of seeing marine mammals such as killer whales or dolphins. The boat ride was fun (and wet!), and we did see several bald eagles, a few seals and a... More

Over the past five years my daughter and I have gone out with Sea Quest a total of twelve times. Every trip has been a different experience and we have never failed to see orca. We have watched them in the rain, in the sun and in a storm and have always felt completely safe. As well as orca we... More

I was out last year and came back again this year because it was such a blast!!! The guides are a riot and extremely knowledgeable on the marine wildlife and the surrounding islands. The open boat was tons of fun to ride in and a great size to get wonderful sightings of the killer whales, porpoises, sea lions, and lots... More

This was a small boat (12 people) but it was very fun and entertaining. The Skip was knowledgeable and had quite the sense of humour, laughter was pretty much continuous and the sites... More

I went out whale watching with SeaQuest with some friends. We had an amazing trip. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The boat was comfortable and I was very happy not to get sea sick!! We saw about 20 whales from J-pod and our guide could identify some of them. I was so excited that I forgot to take... More
