Even we saw only one orca pretty far away, but tour in general is great! Stunning nature around, very good organisation and knowledge guide. We also see sea lions, who very so funny to watch! Thank you, I enjoyed a lot!

This trip was a last-minute decision. We had been on a n Alaskan cruise and were able to see Humpbacks, but no Orcas, so it was nice to see some Orcas in action. We had the privilege of seeing a Gray Well feeding on this tour. Lauren was absolutely awesome and her love for her job and her knowledge was very obvious. The extra tutorials were a definite plus. We were able to see an orca pop-up as if to say "who's out there watching me? Cheese!!!" So thankful she was able to catch that and email it to everyone that was on the trip thank you thank you thank you!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We took the half day wildlife and whale watching tour in August. It was a beautiful, clean, modern boat. I enjoyed the presentations on the wildlife. We saw orcas in multiple locations, and they slowed and rotated the boat for better viewing. We also saw harbour seals and more.

Dining was fine for the activity but a tad pricey , the crew was very helpful and informative but of course, the orcas stole the show. Very enjoyable. Thanks to all.

We booked the half day whale watching tour on July 15, 2026 for my family of four and were not dissapointed. We got to see a humpback whale and a gray whale along with several harbor porpoise and sea lions. The onboard naturalist was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer any questions we had. This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Seattle.
