First time on this whale watching vessel. My daughter got the most out of it. They offered some face painting, some cookies and hot chocolate. We actually saw a whale breach a handful of times. Having been out on the other boats, seeing the whales or other sea life will vary. Either way, the whole experience was great and I'm sure I'll be on board again in the future. Thank you.
Great experience for my family and myself. Saw 3 whales, seals, and porpoises. They had entertainment for the children as the kids didn't have the patience to ride out to the whales. Plus a sweet treat and hot chocolate.
Great experience for our whole family. Chloe, Courtney and Captain Joel were very informative, friendly and passionate about their work. Boat had a nice top viewing deck, and a closed in area below to keep everyone warm and dry. We saw Minke whales, harbour porpoises and seals, well worth the money.
We booked a tail ship for 3.5 hours ride inside the sea, worth the trip!!! They went up-to to the border, so much entertainment for kids like face paint, captain ride and certificate, mini aquarium visit❤️ they made the entire ride without any boring for kids! We saw few varieties of whales 🐳 worth the ticket and worth the ride! Except we went with a french tv show crew on our ride which they were busy shooting in the front deck other than that everything is good 👍🏻
The tall ship is amazing for families, the kids really loved it. We saw mink whales, one was quite close. The crew passed around live sea creatures and let the kids “captain” the boat for awhile which put huge smiles on their faces. Definitely recommend.
The tall ship is Absolutely a wonderful experience. The staff are very professional and good at all that they do. A feature of the excursion is an onboard touch tank used to educate the youngsters about local sea creatures. Face painting for kids and a cup of hot chocolate with cookies made the trip perfect for young and old. We saw Minke whales, seals and so much more.
Great tour, fast boat, bring sunglasses so you can see while travelling, otherwise you cannot open your eyes due to the wind. Operator was knowledgeable and respectful of the whales, we witnessed other boats that would almost be considered harassing to the whales. We saw dolphins and two Minke whales that breached numerous time, some very close to the boat. Hard to capture in pictures due to the unpredictably of the whales.
What an amazing experience!! Those words don't even do the trip justice. Whales, a shark, porpoises, and more seals than we could count. The amazing marine biologists they had for their crew were amazing!! Very informative and ready for any question. We will definitely be going again. Thank you to Joel the captain and the 2 young ladies on board, I'm so sad i can't remember their names but if they're reading this, you were on with us on July 28th at 1:30pm. You guys were amazing!! You certainly can tell how much you love your jobs.
Beautiful boat ride. Didn't see as many whales as I had hoped, but we definitely saw them! They let the kids steer the ship, had an informative touch tank, and brought around some baleen for everyone to see. Threw in some face painting, and at the end, they served some hot soup. It was fantastic!!!
Amazing experience! Every staff member was very engaging, helpful and so nice!
I highly recommend this tourist whale watching group to everyone! Family friendly for all ages. We saw three whales, some porpoises, some bald eagles.

Such a smooth ride and an incredible experience!

Thank you for all you do!
Great whale watching tour boat! 2 Marine biologists on board boat was clean, seats cushioned. Washrooms on board. Enough life jackets and life boats for everyone. I felt very safe. The captain was professional friendly and a great tour guide. We saw whales, a great white shark cruising around the sea lions….He did have a snack too. Dolphins, Bald Eagles, crabs to see and hold for those who wanted to. It was a great day!
Enjoyed a lot fun trip I had with this amazing friendly, experienced and knowledgable crew, beautiful sceneries, and most importantly visiting lots of whale friends swimming around our boat!!!
The boat also was comfortable and the right size. I Definitely recommend them.
Wonderful whale watching experience! We have gone twice and have seen numerous whales, seals, porpoises, and bald eagles. Great opportunities for photography and a chance to learn about the area with the marine biologists on board.
What an EPIC experience …. This deserves 10 stars! EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT WORKS HERE DESERVES A SHOUT OUT! From the moment you check in you have this welcoming feeling and you know this trip will be awesome. They have 2 super knowledgeable marine biologists on the boat who explain everything and teach you so much about the whales you will see on your trip and all the surrounding islands you will see. The captain is also friendly and knowledgeable. This is a worthwhile trip for everyone travelling here. Highly recommend. They guarantee a 96% rate of seeing marine life! You will see whales and seals and dolphins. Everyone is happy and welcoming.
What a great experience.. have never done whale watching but was a great time.. started out foggy then after it lifted the games began! Lots of seals to start, then a few porpoise then on the main attractions! Lol. A few minky whales and a Fin to end the day.. Super knowledgeable and friendly on board staff and approachable to ask lots of questions.. Will definitely definitely be back again! My vote for best boat attraction in the area..
A really great crew and very knowledgeable. Our first time whale watching and it was a very enjoyable day. We saw whales, porpoise and seals.

The crew answered any questions we had and they described the area we were in and gave information of all areas we visited.

Definitely will be back next time with Island Quest Marine.
