“My family and I had an amazing experience with Orca Spirit Adventures. We saw humpback whales and a pod of orcas. To top it off, we saw orcas breached not one but 9 times! It was unbelievable! Our tour guide Ryan was friendly, funny and knowledgeable about the wildlife. Thank you for an amazing experience of a lifetime. I would never forget it.”

“Fantastic experience from start to finish. Jake, Tash, and Natalie were knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about local wildlife. We saw sea lions, bald eagles, and even a family of orcas, including an unforgettable spyhopping moment. The boat was comfortable, complimentary hot drinks were a nice touch, and our 5-year-old loved every minute of the tour.”
