I'm extremely disappointed with how my situation was handled recently. Due to a family illness, I…read morehad to cancel my whale watching trip and provided what I believed was plenty of notice. Despite that, they refused to issue a full refund. When I booked, I expected a reasonable level of customer service and flexibility, especially for something as unpredictable as getting sick. Instead, I was met with rigid policy. It felt like they cared more about keeping my money than doing right by a customer who couldn't safely attend. I understand that businesses have cancellation policies, but there should be some level of compassion and common sense--especially when someone gives advance notice and isn't canceling last minute. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression. I would hesitate to book with them again and recommend others read the fine print very carefully before committing... because even with advance notice, you will not get a full refund if you need to cancel.

A perfect, quiet marina with great staff and plenty of amenities…read more Booking a slip is easy using the app. Arrival is simple. The marina is fairly well protected from weather, the fairways are generous and the staff helps you tie up. The docks are in good condition. Lighting is adequate at night (not too little, but more importantly, not too much!), power pedestals are in good condition. Water is from a reverse osmosis system, so you need to be careful with your usage. No boat washing, which is fine. The general store and cafe are awesome. Good food, essential supplies and good business hours. Restrooms are clean and spacious. Hand dryers but no paper towels, which is okay but not great. Laundry facility is clean with good equipment. Nearby food is very good but limited. There is a pizza place directly across from the marina - limited hours. The BBQ place up the street (10-minute walk) is fantastic and has a good selection of beer, a full bar and a huge outdoor seating area. Overall, the vibe is relaxed. There are some party floats for yacht club events.

Our group of friends set out to go on a charter to celebrate a few birthdays. After researching…read moreand calling dozens of charters, I came across Chris of the Jolly Mon. His service checked all the boxes: private boat for a smaller group, the flexibility of what the fishing plan for the day, the right price, great reviews. It was a colder morning so we were stoked when we got there and found out his boat had a full enclosure for the steam out to the fishing grounds. It made for an extremely comfortable ride both in and out in any condition. Chris was knowledgeable, fun, and knew when to step in and help us out and engage and when to sit back and let our group do our thing. Most importantly though? He put us on the fish. Although none of us had fished these waters before, he coached us on proper technique and what to do before we got there. Once we arrived at the fishing spots? The rods were constantly bent, reeling in Sculpin, Rockfish & Ling Cod. We had an absolute blast out on the water with Chris. We are already planning on future trips with Jolly Mon Charters. If you're losing your mind trying to find the right charter, just stop and call Chris. You'll be glad you did.

Bucket List - Orca Jackpot!…read more Family of 13 (including 4 kids under 12) all really enjoyed the voyage aboard Odyssey. All were comfortable and plenty of room for a good view.

Got us into the fish fast and enjoyed the beautiful location and close proximity from harbour. Dave has been doing this for 20 years and it shows.

I've crossed the bridge over the Nooksack River by car and have contemplated stopping to check it…read moreout for years. This weekend, I finally did. If you are headed east on Mt. Baker Highway, turn right just before you reach the roundabout. This single lane road will lead you past the WHS Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, and then the road will turn rough with gravel. Keep going about 50 more yards, and on your left, you will find about 5 parking spots in front of a grassy field. Follow the trail sign and tree-lined path to the water where you will have spectacular views of snow-capped Mt. Baker. The Nooksack river will be flowing pretty fast all year long, but is more calm along the shoreline where you might consider dipping your toes during the summer. The cold river water will feel good on a hot day. Unfortunately, the beach is rocky, so bring some sturdy water shoes for navigating the plethora of pebbles and boulders. Leashed dogs are allowed here too, but I saw plenty running free on both sides of the shore. One dog kept charging and barking at me despite his owner's best efforts to recall and control him by voice. According to one park sign, you can fish here. I'm not sure if there are designated points. I didn't see any bathroom or picnic table facilities, so "go" before you arrive and bring your own blankets, towels and chairs if you plan on hanging out. The park is open from sunrise to sunset which is great for those wanting to photograph the natural beauty of this place.

I like this hidden little park. There are about 5 parking spots available to use but the location…read moreis hidden from the street so there are seldom anyone here during the weekdays. One thing that I like a lot about this park is the open field adjacent to the river. I have flown my drone around to get footage of the river and mountains and the views are amazing! Plenty of rocky shoreline to relax by the water as well.

Wow. This outfit is legit. When we first decided to come visit Victoria, the first thing I started…read moreresearching was a fishing charter. Adam's Fishing Charters scores a perfect 5 from over 50 reviews on trip advisor. Adam helped to put me with another individual fisher to help split the cost and set us up for a morning trip. Temple was our guide, he was incredible. Very knowledgeable, and extremely personable. Even though it was a slow day and the fish weren't biting, Temple was persistent and we ended up landing a big one! I will definitely be using them again and would recommend them to everyone!

These guys get it…read more Great contact and information prior advising you of conditions. Adam was really helpful in helping make our arrangements. Justin our guide was experienced, friendly and helped make this a highlight for my two kids. We had such a great fishing experience so we booked again for the next day. Adam however called to advise us that winds were up so we weren't able to go out again. Highly recommended fishing charter righ in the inner harbor of Victoria. Would have given them a higher rating but the fish processing store they recommended didn't seem to know what they were doing and tried to short us four fillets. They eventually said I had the full amount when I came to pay but when I opened the sealed container after flying home, we were shorted 2 fillets. I do not recommend the fish processing on the Fisherman's wharf.

We had a excellent experience on our four hour excursion with an Island Boat Rentals 16' RiverHawk…read more Scott gave us a brief but thorough period of instruction about the boat, and navigation system. He also offered some suggestions for islands to visit, things to see, places orcas might be visible, and locations for public docks and restrooms. The boat was more than roomy for my family of four plus beagle, and had comfortable seats. The boat, and navigation worked flawlessly, and we had a great time! I highly recommend this experience over a chartered tour. You are your own captain, and you four legged family members are welcome. Pointer: Force your family to dress warm. Mine underestimated the cold factor despite my warnings. Even when the weather is beautiful, it's cold out on the water when underway.

The day looked like it was easy and calm but as we headed out to seat the water was great super choppy and we felt unsafe. We turned around and headed back to the mainland. When we returned he first said everything looked ok and we were good to go. As we were jumping into our car the owner runs up to us and says hey you guys broke a piece of the propeller and we need you to fix it. It will cost between $500-$3,000. We were really confused because we didn't hit anything!!!! The we asked what the insurance policy was and he said he didn't have any. So us not knowing much we google this "so called part" it only cost $113. After being told it would cost $3,000 I sprinted into a local attorneys office and told him what had happened and he quickly shared that it was illegal for us to be driving a boat unsupervised anyway and that he was aloud to even be charging for a service like that. You can not operate, unless under the direct onboard supervision of uscg liscesned captain, a boat with more than 15hp in wa state. Be very careful this company is NOT legal and will take advantage you!!
