Tour guide was very informative of the area and history. We saw seals and sea birds but no whales. Apparently it's been quiet. Beautiful scenery and boat rides are always fun. Dress warm and wear a rain coat. It gets cold and wet.
Disappointed with this tour. I will say the tour guide was very informative, and showed us various islands and coastlines with historical info on each. The ride was pretty cold despite the hot weather so make sure to bring a sweater as well as a rain coat because the water can get choppy and splash into the boat. (No complaints on that as I know we're out in the the ocean, it's going to get chilly!) I understand that you're never guaranteed to see whales on every tour but we were really disappointed when we overheard the guide tell another passenger halfway through our 3 hour boat trip, that they don't usually see whales until mid July.....It was May 31st when we took the tour. So why advertise on the website and sell tickets to tours from May - October?! We felt hustled to be honest. If you typically don't see whales until mid July why did we bother wasting our time and money? We saw seals, puffins, and an otter...all of which I've seen before so I was pretty discouraged by the end of the trip.I also felt that the guide spent quite a bit of time chatting with 1 particular group of passengers and not a lot of time looking for whales so who knows, maybe we drove right by some.Overall, would probably not recommend taking this tour unless you're going in August.
The tour was fabulous today. Kevin (?) was very knowledgeable about Harbour history and the bays and canal. We saw porpoises, seals, and a minke whale. Neil the Captain shared some information as well and worked really hard to follow the whale. It was a beautiful tour.
We didnt see any whales but we spent 3 hours touring around looking at other various forms of marine life and learning about the ocean and ways of life past and current. Great tour with or without the whales. Saw porpoise, deals, various birds and deer on an island.
They do stipulate there is no guarantee you'll see whales and that was the case when we went. That's just the risk you take. For 3 of us it was around 190 CAD and for the three hour boat ride we saw seals and a sunfish. They did say it's typical for the tourists to spot the whales first. I wonder why they don't have a fish finder? The tour guide was very informative.
