Joined aug 22 tour. Guides where very helpful in explaining the orca and humpback whale we met along the way. They were very attentive. The captain made sure to give us enough time to watch the wild animals in their natural habitat. Thank u for the chance to show us these beauty!
Great trip, amazing gardens and very helpful and obliging staff.
The bus schedule from Victoria was wrong and we had to take a cab to the gardens. The boat ride was ok, but saw no animals and no sunset.
