We sailed with Jeff In July this year. What a great trip, whales, eagles + other wildlife and a chance to catch a fish too! Jeff is a friendly and knowledgeable guy with good sense of humour. The boat was safe, well equipped and very fast which ensured we got to view and then quickly reposition for other pods of... more

We went on Emerald Sea Adventure yesterday. It was a great trip. Jeff found us Orca's in no time at all. We like Jeff because he had a great attitude, enthusiasm and love of his work. We brought our 6 year old and they suited him up in an extra sweatshirt to keep him warm. Whales were everywhere! We highly... more

My Husband and I went whale watching for the first time recently. It was the best birthday I have ever had. We chose Emerald Sea because the captain, Jeff, was so knowledgable and passionate about whales. He was very careful not to get too close. Jeff was very accomodating and wouldn't take us out unless we were going to see... more

Usually twice a year, I go out with Jeff for whale watching. My mother, aunt, husband, uncle and close friend each time. There has never been a trip that was dissapointing! Jeff just won't take you out if he doesn't hear of any whale action. Last August, my husband and I took our friends from Fort St. John out for... more

Jeff is a fantastic tour guide! He's quite humorous and knowledgeable.... if you're gonna go whale watching go with him. He takes out small groups; they are more up-close-and-personal, if you will! We saw a pod of orcas, and a humpie whale, right in front of our eyes...and boat!!! We also saw the "moving beach" aka sea lions and a... more

The zodiak watercraft is custom made and, considering the kind of vessel it is, reasonably comfortable. The owner/operator is knowlegeable and friendly, making the... more

My friend and myself had been looking forward to whale watching all throughout our holiday. Although we stayed in Victoria we headed up to Sidney for this trip. On the first day we went to go the weather was terrible and we were told by the owner that there were no whales out that day and he did not want... more

Jeff, the owner/operator of this whale-watching boat, is such a professional. From his intense desire to please all of his passengers to his vast knowledge of marine life and his primary concern for the safety and comfort of his clients, he is the BEST! His amusing and insightful running commentaries are not only entertaining but very educational. Jeff seems to... more
