The captain and the naturalist were nice and very knowledgeable. They told us information about all the wildlife in the area. They spotted wildlife and pointed out to us. The captain was very experienced and that helped us to see many kinds of wildlife, including orcas. We were very lucky that the orcas (around 5-7) put up a good show... More

Captain Dan and his well versed naturalist, Deb were amazing. First the boat....it's very clean & has plenty of enclosed space as well as outdoor space. There's also a top deck with great viewing. You can even sit in with Captain Dan and chat with him while he's driving. It's very cozy & personal boat and not like the giant... More

This company is awesome! The rates are reasonable, the boat is beautiful, and the staff is extremely knowledgable about the area and wildlife. I really like the fact that the boat is "enclosed" with a lot of windows. There is a big observation deck on top of the boat that allows seating as well. There is even a seat in... More

I was lucky enough to catch the last whale tour of the season with these guys. Every single guest was pampered and doted on. We were on a very posh boat with warm indoor cabin; comfortable assigned seating (though we were free to move about and venture outside the cabin at will); outside there was a lovely upper level and...

Captain Dan and his wife Denise made our Orcas whale watching trip a most wonderful experience. The owners and crew are very knowledgeable - not only did we see tons of Orcas whales but we also learned a lot about their behavior, their feeding habits and migration patterns. All in all a great memorable experience that we can recommend to... More

My husband and I bought a groupon for this whale watching tour and boy did it over deliver!! Dan and crew were super friendly and knowledgable! Not only did we get to see whales, seals, sea lions, jellyfish, and Corsican goats- we got to spend a good hour plus following the whales as they played and foraged for salmon- great... More

We loved our whale watching experience with Orcas Island Eclipse Charters. The staff was exceptionally well-organized and competent, from the moment we called to book our trip until we were dropped off at the ferry terminal after an excellent day on the water. We investigated a number of companies and decided on Eclipse Charters because of their reasonable rate and... More

My wife and I had a fantastic experience with eclipse charters! They were extremely professional and had not 1 but 2 naturalists on board who were quite knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. The boat was well sized with a warm cabin, binoculars were provided, and a large upper deck for outdoor viewing. We saw a ton... More

This organization is staffed with very friendly and also very knowledgeable people. The boat has an upper deck for 360 degree viewing or you can sit inside (away from the sun and the wind). We saw around 20-30 whales with two of them going right under the boat. We are already planning our trip for next year to use the... More
