North Island Tours - Zodiac Whale Watching

What a wonderful day we had on the zodiac with Dave in September 2019. An abundance of wildlife, seals, dolphins and eagles a bonus to the main attractions of the Orcas and Humpbacks. Spending time tracking a pod of Orcas and then sitting in the sound with hump backs "fluking" all around us was a magical experience. We have been on similar trips in Canada, US and South Africa, the personable and knowledgeable approach from Dave and his crew with local knowledge and culture, makes this by far the best we have experienced.

Awesome trip with Dave on North Island Tours. My first adventure on a Zodiac but it sure won't be my last. So much to see I didn't know which way to look. A bear on the beach, eagles, seals, an inquisitive sea lion and of course whales. Many many whales!

An unforgettable day out on the water. So many orca and humpback whales it was hard to know where to look. We saw lounging seals, bald eagles fighting over salmon, a curious sea lion and countless seabirds. Captain Dave shared. his local knowledge of wildlife and history. This is a must do trip for anyone visiting Port McNeill.

An amazing afternoon on the water with Dave and Celine. Dave found us harbor seals, stellar sea lions, a pod of orcas ( who he followed closely and carefully for at least 30 mins) and humpbacks. We were able to sit with the engine off in the late afternoon and just listen to the caucophony being made by all these beautiful sea animals who live offshore. This is an experience not to be missed by a wonderful tour guide and his assistant Celine...Kudos to you for operating such a phenomenal small business.

Great tour!!! In the beginning we saw a big black bear on the beach and when we went looking for a pod of transient orca's. We followed them around an island looking for food and saw a nice orca breach!!! After the orca show we went to a humpback feeding ground with a lot of humpbacks around our boat. On this trip we also saw seals and sealions. The boat was also very comfortable and the staff very friendly. We definitely recommend this tour and if we ever come back we will join them again. The bonus for us was that they took pictures and mailed them afterwards.
