Had an amazing experience. The guide was extremely knowledgable about the area and the whales. I learned a lot of great information and saw Orcas from three different pods. The amount of people on the tour was small which was great because it allowed for one on one conversation with the guide to ask questions. I would absolutely recommend this... More

This company (also known as SeaQuest) exceeded our expectations in every way. The staff and skipper were very friendly and relaxed. The open boat (bring sunscreen or a hat - I didn't and now paying for it) holds twelve, is very stable and powerful. Whale watching is very competitive and there are lots of companies to choose from for this... More

My husband and I were seeking a personable, locally owned and operated whale watching company for our 2nd anniversary. Sidney Whale Watching (SeaQuest) went above and beyond. During the trip, all sorts of wildlife were pointed out to us with very interesting facts. I was at first concerned that we wouldn't see the whales as much. This was not so,... More

I have been whale watching in Iceland and USA - this was a great expereince in a smaller boat with informal discussion with Steve. Multiple pod sightings and a bouncy ride back in the evening.

We were called 4 or 5 times to make sure we would show, and told we were sure to see Orca. Got on the boat and told guys were out looking for the whales. They knew the whales were out to sea, yet shuttled us to the far cold Georgia strait only to see seals. What a bummer for the... More

Really impressive! It took us no time at all to reach the pod of whales. Mike impressed me with his knowledge of all things marine. Mike provided great opportunities to view and photograph the whales in actions. Highly recommend this trip. Better than leaving from Victoria as there is no need to spend a lot of time in the boat...

We spent a day with Jeff, out of Poet's Cove, and had a great experience with 2 pods of orca and a minke. Then a sea lion colony on the return trip. Jeff was kind enough to e-mail some terrific pictures from our day - thank you! Suits supplied, but a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen a must in fair weather.

Jeff is amazing. He knows so much, is extremely eco aware and so respectful of all of the wildlife. He is a master seaman and navigator. You always feel safe with Jeff although he is never cloying. My family and I had a spectacular time and hardily recommend Emerald Sea Adventures - pros from the beginning to the end.
