"I just wanted to write a quick thank-you for our wonderful trip on Saturday. It was a great day, and we saw LOTS of whales! The [bus] drivers, office staff and the boat staff were all friendly and helpful, and we really appreciated the service we got. I may contact you later in the summer for another trip! ... We had a great time on our trip, and I'd recommend Vancouver Whale Watch to any other groups, definitely. Thanks again,"

We have just returned home after a fabulous holiday touring western Canada. One of the days (8th June) we spent with you looking for Orca making a life long ambition come true and would like to say a big thank you especially to [our Naturalist] ... for an absolutely fantastic and memorable day. Photos did not turn out as good as I hoped but the best pictures are locked away in our heads for a dull day in the office when the rain is pouring down outside and sunny holidays are a distant memory. We hope to enjoy a trip with you again in the future and will certainly recommend you to all our friends.
Once again thank you to all you lucky people who must have one of the best jobs in the world.

We were on a whale watching tour with you just yesterday, May 21. We've now returned home to Alberta and I just wanted to extend a very warm Thank you for such a great trip. Although the weather wasn't very cooperative we still managed to spot a few whales from j-pod. It was a great experience for all of us, we learned a great deal about orcas, sea lions, seals, and other species. Our [Naturalist] and Captain were fantastic. Our [Naturalist] was of great comfort to my 5 yr old daughter who didn't handle the waves so well. She went above and beyond to make her feel better, and we'll be sure to return another time.

Just would like to say that we had an absolutely WONDERFUL experience on your whale watching tour!!!! We were on the Aug 20th, 9AM Lightship l. Our naturalist and boat pilot were both very knowledgeable. Our boat pilot seemed to know how to maneuver ahead of the whale pod we were observing, then shut the motor down and we would wait a few moments and then they would surface. The information the naturalist gave us concerning the killer whale behavior and how they would react was great.
It was a super experience because we could observe them without stressing them. Please compliment both our boat pilot and naturalist as they made this trip a truly WONDERFUL experience.
I am keeping this website in my folders as I am almost certain our son is going to settle in the Vancouver area after graduation from SFU and if he and his girlfriend get married, I know members of my family here in the States would love to take your trip while visiting for the wedding.
Thank you again for such a wonderful experience!!!!!!

On our visit to Vancouver recently, we came out whale watching twice with you and we would just like to say a big thank you for a memorable two days. [Our naturalist] was great and I just wish I had her job. :)
Thank you once again it was a excellent experience.

I just wanted to say thank you very much to our [Captain] and our Naturalist for a wonderful experience. My son who is 7 1/2 (Mitchell) along with my mom, sister and I went whale watching with your company on Tuesday, July 3rd. We rode on the Explorathor. We got some great pictures and enjoyed the trip. [Our Captain] made my son feel very welcome and let him sit in the "captain's" chair when we were stopped.
Thanks again for the great experience - we'll be back again next year.

I very recently spent the day (6-20-07) with yourselves on a whale watching trip. What a fantastic time I had, you pretty much guaranteed I would see Orcas and Orcas is what I saw. Beautiful majestic creatures that they are, I was in awe. Accompanied by a very professional Captain and the very gorgeous [Naturalist], you really made it the highlight of my vacation. I got some really good shots too, some of which I have attached.
