Bra och spännande båttur!

Hkan_S, juni 2019

Utomordentligt kunnig personal som tog sig tid vilket också gjorde att valar siktades och syntes mycket bra.

Svar från värd, juni 2019

Thank you for your kind review! We are glad to hear you enjoyed your tour. Our staff are first class and we will make sure they hear about your glowing review of their performance. Thank you again for choosing Five Star Whale Watching.

Sea life

Cathy_M, apr. 2024

Seeing porpoises popping up and diving down. Also saw lots of sea lions as well as several eagles. Unfortunately no whales.

Svar från värd, maj 2024

Thank you for your review. It was a great day out despite not seeing whales, though as you said we saw lots of other wildlife. We will try and find whales for you next time you come out on your complimentary tour.

Amazing

Awesome excursion!! 5 stars!!

Doug_P, okt. 2023

Absolutely fabulous tour! Saw sooo many whales, sea lions, seals and even a porpoise! The enthusiasm of the crew made this cruise exceptional!!

Do it

CHRISTOPHER_C, okt. 2023

5 Star is a good name for the company. Smaller boat, but experienced in what they do. They know where to look for whales, sea lions and other mammals. In addition, they abide by the regulations that all boats should take, to keep just far enough away, to let nature do what it does. They are passionate about the environment while getting you as close to what God has put on this earth that we need to appreciate.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and spoke for good three hours. He explained about the marine life and the waters.

Ishbel_Q, okt. 2023

We got to see several orcas and hump back whales! We saw seals and sea lions up close! The staff made up feel welcome and safe. The boat ride felt safe yet thrilling!

Great crew!

James_Y, okt. 2023

Great crew! Knowledgeable, kind and very friendly. Took their time to ensure everyone was taken care off.

Joyful whale watching with five star whale watching

Saumil_B, okt. 2023

Very knowledgeable staff!...

Dawn_R, aug. 2023

Very knowledgeable staff! We felt safe and informed. Well done all around. The 10 and 12 year old grandkids enjoyed every minute!

Great whale watching

Jackie_M, aug. 2023

We saw orcas and humpback whales and got a lot of information from the naturalist Jim. We had a great time.

Good service

Mark_H, aug. 2023

Great experience. Very knowledgeable people on board to provide great service! Good food, freshly prepared

Definitely Five Stars!

Talina_W, aug. 2023

We had a great time. We'd originally booked on the larger boat, but they contacted us the day before to let us know that sailing had to be cancelled and offered to reschedule or refund us. Luckily they had spots available on their smaller boat at the same time and I'm so glad because the smaller boat was really fun! They had regular life vests and coat-like life jackets available, depending on the weather, which would be a nice perk if it was chilly. We had an unusually warm day so opted for the typical life vests. The ride was really smooth. I was impressed how well the boat did with the waves. Then we saw orcas! The captain was on the radio with other boats talking about where to go and so he had a destination in mind and it did not disappoint! He was really great about explaining what he was doing and why, and he worked hard to get us into good positions to view this small pod. After a while of viewing them, he suggested we move on and let other boats see the orcas so they weren't over crowded (we could see several vessels heading our way). We then headed to another area and saw several humpback whales. All in all, they lived up to their name and gave us a five star whale watching experience!

Thank you for your kind words and glowing review, it is appreciated. Gordon, your Captain is a real professional who loves what he does and really cares about the Marine Wildlife we encounter. We are glad you enjoyed this trip and appreciated Gordon's wisdom, he is a true asset to Five Star. Salish Shadow is a fun vessel for sure and we are glad you enjoyed it. Seeing Orcas and Humpbacks on the same tour is always a thrill! Thank you again for such an incredible review.

Teresa_C, aug. 2023

James was a wealth of knowledge and very approachable. He provided helpful explanations and answered everyone’s questions. We were fortunate to have spotted orcas, seals, harbor porpoises, and a humpback whale on a day with calm waters! We got the sense that the company was respectful of trying to minimize the impact of their business while still providing people the opportunity to view wild marine mammals.

Svar från värd, aug. 2023

Thank you for this gowing review, it is appreciated. We are glad you enjoyed the information James, was able to provide during your tour, he is a very experienced and passionate Marine Naturalist and we will make sure we pass on your comments to James, he loves getting feedback. Five Star believes and promotes respectful and responsible Whale and Marine Wildlife practices. We are a founding member of the Pacific Whale Watch Association and 1st company in Victoria to Certified as a Responsible Operator by the World Cetacean Alliance. We want to inspire and educate our guests whilst having the least impact on the wildlife we encounter. Thank you for recognizing that.

Disappointing trip!

David_M, aug. 2023

A Disappointing trip! My husband and I were looking forward to this whale watch trip. We received a call the night before saying that they were having boat troubles and were taking a small boat that only holds 12 people so we said that was fine and that we would still go. They told us to be there at 9:30 at the office next to the Empress hotel. We went at 9:30 to sign a waver and they said to be at the dock at 9:40 to get our life jackets so we could board. The boat didn’t show up until 10:00. The boat was very small only seating 2 upfront, 6 in the back of the boat and 4 last guys to get on the boat had to sit inside. The boat captain Gordon was nice but it says in the advertising for this trip that it is the bigger boat and that a Naturalist is on board which there wasn’t. This is very misleading. We couldn’t recommend this tour.

Svar från värd, aug. 2023

Sorry to hear you were disappointed with your trip despite seeing a lot of Whales! However, there are some points we need to clarify here. Our 40 passenger vessel was not available as it was going through its Transport Canada Inspection process. Our staff contacted you and you were offered the choice of a large vessel with one of our industry partners or on our 34' 12-passenger Salish Shadow. You chose Salish Shadow. Shadow has indoor and outdoor seating, the same as our 42' 40-passenger vessel. There is seating outside for 10 people, 2 at the front and 8 at the rear. It is as large as any of the zodiac style vessel, which are totally open to the elements, unlike Shadow. The boat was late due to a delay at the fuel dock that morning but we added time on at the end of the tour. Our staff also gave you lots of information both about vessel safety and about the marine environment whilst you waited. So there was no misleading advertising for the trip, you were given the option of a large vessel or our 12-passenger vessel and you saw lots of whales. Sorry if you felt that was not good enough.

Incredible Experience!

Rick_J, aug. 2023

Witnessed a humpback whale dive and raise its tail. What an experience. Also, it was nice to see the expert guide as excited as we were. It shows the passion of the staff.

Svar från värd, aug. 2023

Thank you for your kind words and glowing review, it is appreciated. Glad to hear you enjoyed your tour. Yes, we do have very passionate staff, they love what they do!

Swing and a miss!

Terry_S, aug. 2023

Trip was cancelled at the last minute due to mechanical problems. Still haven't seen my refund. Not okay.

Svar från värd, aug. 2023

Terrible pour experience

Gabriela_J, aug. 2023

Terrible experience. We signed in and in 15 min the trip was cancelled. There was no email for cancellation. I called in 3-4 hours and they said the email comes from Viator. The next day, still no email for cancellation. Feel like working with scammers But Viator asking how we felt in our whale watch trip??

Svar från värd, aug. 2023

We understand your frustration at the unexpected last minute cancellation and do apologize. On the day of the cancellation we did contact Tripadvisor/Viator requesting a refund. Our staff will follow up on that request. Five Star has been around since 1985, so far from scammer, and a very respected company. We can't issue the refund as you booked through Viator, one of our trusted partners. We checked with Viator, who are an excellent partner, and you have been refunded. Sorry again for the disappointment of the last minute cancellation.

Heidi_O, aug. 2023

Amazing

Jan_A, juli 2023

It was an amazing lifetime experience. We saw a lot of humpback whales, orca's and seelions on a great fast boat (salish shadow). The captain had a lot of knowledge and was very enthousiastic. It was great!
