We arrived 45 minutes early so that we could be outfitted with our waterproof gear, and once everyone was suited up, we were taken down to the embarkment via bus. Our captain was Yvon and he was great - he took a few minutes to explain the basic rules of "etiquette" and then took us to to look for whales. Boy, were we in for a treat! We were lucky enough to see plenty of whales, including moms with their calves, and as (more) luck would have it, they were all feeling quite playful because not only did we see whales breach and flip, but we also saw the inside of one's mouth (which we're told is a rarity!). Obviously, the captain has no control over whether or not you see whales. so what you'll see will vary. We greatly enjoyed our experience and I would recommend this company. My only other comment would be to make sure that everyone gets to see the whales, i.e. move the boat so that that all sides can view them and take photos. Price point: I think we paid around $65 per person but the price will vary by season.

We had a great time! We would have liked to see more whales…read morebut that's not under their control. We saw a few pods of baluga, a minky whale, and a humpback whale, but we mostly saw their blowholes and dorsal fins, not a lot of cool tail action or flippers. We didn't like that the boat came to our port in st Catherine already full of people from another port but we found a good spot at the front eventually. If you want a small boat to get closer to whales and move around faster, we recommend the zodiac tours instead. The guide was good but it was hard to understand him over the speaker. We enjoyed hot chocolate and pretzels. Dress warm!!!! We also enjoyed gift shop.

Great experience! Awesome crew! Saw whales in two different locations. Amazing! Highly recommend.read more

There's a choice of accommodations (e.g. rooms, chalets & yurts) We got a very nicely furnished suite with a lot of amenities. Only downside was that there were a lot of flies (this was in early fall; we got a fly swatter from reception) WiFi did not work in the suite but elsewhere it was ok You can do self-checkin 24 hours via a lockbox, which is nice (for almost all lodging in the area, you must arrive by 8 or 9pm at the latest)

I requested a different room that reeked of curry. I opted to return to the first room and just open the windows. The major problem I encountered started at night and seemed to be the a/c system from other rooms as I turned off mine. The a/c system is ancient and the noise it made bothered me so much that it made falling asleep difficult and staying asleep also difficult. It drone on in a strange way with the sound traveling through the walls into the bed. The a/c unit in my room was really loud and made strange sounds periodically. I turned it off. The fridge was also make a strange high pitch noise. It was plugged into an extension outlet with other things. I unplugged a few things and that weird sound went away. The breakfast was better than average for a Comfort Inn...It would be worse in the USA. I got a couple of mini crossaints, jam, and butter, banana, and yogurt (better quality that US equivalent). The coffee was really weak...watery but drinkable...The coffee cups were tiny! Because of the noise and smell problems I will not be returning to this property.
