Fantastic trip! We saw hump back whales, sea otter, porpoises, seals and eagles (bald and golden). No orcas sadly though a great trip nonetheless.
Great day!!!

That’s my third time whale watching in Telegraph Cove and it was the most sightings yet. Both Humpbacks and Killer Whales
Amazing!!

The crew on board were very knowledgable and personable. We loved our experience and were lucky enough to see many humpback whales, sea otters, eagles and porpoises. We would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you
Highly recommended!

We went in a Zodiac rather than the bigger boat, and getting into the red float suits already made this trip special for us and our two grandsons. Our skipper, Andy, was obviously experienced and shared some memories of growing up in Alert Bay as an Indigenous person. For almost an hour we searched in vain for whales in Johnstone Straight but saw only a dolphin and two sea lions, the orcas had all headed elsewhere. Rebecca, a very knowledgeable naturalist, explained their movements and told us about the marine reserve off Malcolm Island, where we headed next. We were rewarded by seeing several hump backs and a special treat- a mother that Rebecca recognized playing with her calf. The scenery was magnificent , we felt safe, and all our questions were answered. A great experience!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy that you and your grandsons enjoyed your experience viewing the wildlife and learning from your guides. Thank you for shouting out our crew; they love to know when they were able to make a lasting impression! We sure hope that you will join us on the water again soon.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
