The knowledge of our guide Andi was excellent and seeing the whales was amazing. There was plenty of room in the boat and the all in ones kept us very warm. Full review by SarahT391

Sure if you can pack them in without it being a weight burden as you may see the whales right beside you but there is other sealife that may not be up close and the binoculars would come in handy to view such creatures. If you can tolerate carrying them then do so. Better to have than not have.
Hi there which months of the year do you usually see the whales ? Thanks
A:
I am not sure but I believe the Orcas are there year round. Maybe call the whale watching company? It's a nice ride and you will see other critters too. Bald eagles and seals …
I am not sure but I believe the Orcas are there year round. Maybe call the whale watching company? It's a nice ride and you will see other critters too. Bald eagles and seals basking for instance.
What is the chance that we will see whales in the early-september time frame?

Hi there! Thanks for your interest in our whale watching excursions! I've been working here for 6 years, and in that time we've never had less than 95% success. The majority of our whale encounters are Bigg's orca, which are not a migratory species, so your chances of seeing them are the same throughout our whole season (April - October). We do not operate from November - March, not because there are no whales around but because the weather is colder and wetter! The second most commonly sighted species are humpback whales. We expect a peak in humpback encounters in the spring and again in the fall as they migrate through the area, although year after year we see more of them during the summer months. They've made an incredible recovery as a species. Once close to extinction due to whaling, they're now a thriving population in this area and we see more and more every year. Thanks again for your question! We hope to see you on a tour in September.
