Unforgettable experience! - I had the most amazing experience seeing gray whales, humpback whales, orca, Dall's porpoise, bald eagles, and stellar sea lions, and more. I had never seen a whale in person until this tour, so the experience meant a lot to me. Our tour guide was Bex - she is professional, knowledgeable, experienced, and really fun to listen to. I definitely recommend going on any of her tours in the future!

FAntastic day! - We had a fabulous day on the water with Zoe as our guide. We were able to observe some orcas as well as a couple separate sightings of humpback whales. The weather was perfect and lunch was excellent. Zoe is a textbook of information and her love of whales and wildlife shines through. I highly recommend you book with this very responsible company.

6 entertaining and interesting hours - The tour was great. We have seen Harbour Seals, Stellar Sealion, many bald eagles and Humpback Whales. Our tour guide has shown and explained a lot to us. A great guy! On the hours there was a lunch stop on Stuart Island, very nice there. With a Covered Boat we can highly recommend. You are protected from wet and cold, but you can also go outside and there is a toilet on board. We would book a tour again at any time.

Whale watching in Campbell River - Wonderful exploration on the T3 with Alex and Lexi. Watched humpbacks, orcas, harbour seals and both California and stellar sea lions and many different types of sea birds. Both Lexi and Alex were so knowledgeable it truly added to the experience. Lunch was excellent and made locally from local ingredients. Truly a spectacular day on the seas.

Fabulous 5 star experience! - We went as a family of 5 from the UK on the 6 hour covered boat trip with the amazing Tyler W as our guide. We had the most fantastic day out on the water, the weather was beautiful and the scenery was out of this world. We saw humpbacks, sea lions, a bear really close up, eagles, sea birds and best of all, a pod of Dall’s porpoises that were in a really playful mood and were jumping and swimming around at the bow of the boat for ages - it was the highlight of our trip, they were like mini orcas! Lunch was delicious and Tyler W could not have been a better guide, answering all our endless questions and making us drinks and giving us so much information and knowledge about the wildlife and local area. It has been the best day of our holiday so far. Thank you Tyler W and Campbell River Whale Watching and Adventure Tours, I would give more than 5 stars if I could!
