Such a positive experience. Our naturalist and our captain (Bryan) were fantastic. They were both so friendly and knowledgeable. I was so impressed with how much the two of them cared about the animals - ensuring they followed proper regulation regarding the safety of them as well as getting upset when another boat was not following proper protocol. Ellen (our naturalist) got to know each of us, answered questions and went above and beyond to make this experience positive. We were on the water for 4.5 hours and spent a lot of time with a pod of whales as well as some other animals. Loved every moment! Staff back at the site were friendly and helpful too!

Despite truly dreadful weather where we might have been drier in the sea than on the boat, the staff made the trip interesting and enjoyable. There is adequate cover in case of rain so you can venture out in truly poor weather. It is worth a look around the shop/booking office as there are some really interesting items on sale.

This was an excellent experience, but make sure you listen to the recommendations provided, like be there an hour before departure; bring snacks and drink for yourself. One person in our group was walking with crutches and the staff was very friendly and accommodating, making this a non-issue. Naturalist Ellen was very informative and eager to answer questions. Captain James gave us lots of time and every possible opportunity to see whales. On the way home, he spotted a humpback whale. He promptly extended the trip by a good half hour to follow this whale, giving us the opportunity to see him dive & re-surface several times.

Great experience. Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable boats.
We came all the way to Vancouver, from Boston to see killer whales. Unfortunately, it was not in the stars. We did see a few humpbacks, seals, sea lions and eagles.
The small seaside town was fantastic and fun to walk around and grab some fish and chips.
Even though we didn't get to put that check mark next to "See Killer Whales in the Wild", on our bucket list, I would still highly recommend this whale watch to anyone. 🐳response / report this review -

We went to Vancouver for our honeymoon, and the day we went whale watching was absolutely our favorite part and well worth the cost!
The shuttle pickup and drop off were timely, comfortable, and really helpful when you don't have a car available. All of the staff were knowledgeable and very friendly. We went on the smallest vessel option, which I highly recommend (so long as you don't have any major back problems). It was like an awesome rolled coaster for 5 hours! We were fortunate enough to come across a pod of resident orcas, which was something we'll never forget.
I hope we can return again someday!response / report this review -

I finally went in August 2016. Beautifull hot day smooth waters sunsine, wow.
The guide was great and friendly. She provided tons of information, pictures. She knew all the whales by name. Told us about new babies. I learned a lot, seen a huge male orca. Lots of smaller ones. It was fun. Really enjoyable time. I will go again in May taking some one with me.
Thank you for the great service and the wonderful experience.response / report this review -

I love Vancouver whalewatch because they have the highest Success Rate for many reasons, very Comfortable & Safest Boats.
Because of their location in Steveston, they can access all the best locations for Whale watching easily. Our Guide Joan is Awesome,
I had so much fun. Captain Charles

The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable! But unfortunately our boat and the other five out for the day didn't see any whales, we only saw seals and porpoises, which were pretty much just exciting because it had been a long day of open ocean. It was really disappointing to go out and not see any whales, but that isn't the companies fault. They did give us a return voucher.. so better luck next time! We went on September 16, 2016.

Had an excellent time with Vancouver Whale Watch. Everything was very well organized and our trip guide was very knowledgeable and took the time to come around to each person on our boat to see if they had any questions about what we saw over the course of our trip. The shuttle service getting us to the departure location was great as well. Our driver had some excellent commentary to make sure our ride wasn't a long, boring one.
We will definitely be recommending Vancouver Whale Watch to our friends and family!!response / report this review
