Wonderful tour. Very knowledgeable and friendly. You can tell they really want you to see the whales, because they do too!

There are so many companies to book a whale watching tour off Vancouver Island. It was overwhelming when I started my research on "who was the best company to book with, which part of the Island was best to see Orcas in the month of May ... ". I came across many awesome reviews about Simon and Ocean EcoVentures Whale... More

Second trip with Simon and Ocean EcoVentures, this time with friends. Once again we had a fantastic trip and spent a great afternoon watching 25+ majestic Orcas. Simons knowledge of the whales, wildlife and area is vast. We also saw Harbour seals, Stellar sea lions, a Minke whale, Bald eagles, Roe deer, Corsican sheep, Dall's porpoises and a vast array...

A small company and to my joy they had a late afternoon evening outing so I could join in after work. It was a fabulous trip and this trip was fantastic - a small group but we were able to find the Orca whales thanks to the network of boats who report sightings.We saw Bald Eagles, seals and Sea Lions...

Simon (owner) of Ocean EcoVentures was a fantastic guide & accommodated our family of 5 on a very short notice late in afternoon - a calm sunny evening (4:30-8pm) - as we were the only whale boat on the water! We were able to see 4-5 transient orca killer wales (spent a few hours following them), headed into USA waters... More

All efforts were made to make our evening a great succes, and even time was no problem (we stayed longer then planned out in vancouver bay to fully enjoy every opportunity); pictures have been shared and we just had a...

Really appreciated Simon being upfront and honest that a whale sighting may not happen. We took the chance anyway and we're fortunate to see not only a golden eagle but 2 Orcas as well. Loved the ride on the quick Zodiac. Simon was excellent at educating us on everything we saw and nice enough to offer copies of the professional... More

Our first contact with Ocean EcoVenture is through their website and the great reviews on TripAdvisor. We were not disappointed. Simon and Lance are not only passionate and very knowledgeable about whales - resident or transient, but are genuinely concerned about the environment and other marine life. Not only did we see lots of whales, the trip itself going pass... More

We have been fortunate to have experienced many whale watching tours around the world, but the one in our own back yard rates very highly among them. This was our second time out with Simon, having taken some friends from Germany last year. Simon is very passionate and knowledgeable about all the marine mammals that live and travel through our...
