"The four days in the camp were just incredible...I got to see and experience so much-a black bear, about 50 orcas, humpback whales, dolphins, seals, sea lions, white-tailed eagles, otters, jumping fish, starfish and sea urchins and so much more...in addition incredible guides and great ‘fellow travellers’...I can only recommend everyone to take this experience with them"

“The kayaking was incredible with whales, sea lions, porpoises, dolphins and eagles all around us. The guides, Dan, Dane and Ricci, were awesome. We felt safe, well taken care of and well fed the whole time. There are even hot showers!”

Hanna B

“Such an unforgettable experience! The evenings were spent around the campfire with delicious, fresh food prepared by our guides. I would say the orca camp is the most memorable travel experience I've had so far!”
