Guaranteed Sightings
Ocean Ecoventures belongs to an extensive Whale Spotting Network, a coalition of fishermen, Whale Watching Companies, land-based spotters, and whale enthusiasts.
On most days during the spring and summer months, we know where the whales are located, and as such, can guarantee, on the day of your tour, whether you will see whales. Our sightings record for 2011 was 97%.
We are upfront and honest about whale sightings. Viewing whales in the wild is so great because no two tours are ever alike. We have always extended a "Rain Check" to the few passengers who do not see whales on their tour. Our rain check is a complimentary Whale Watching trip on a stand-by basis. This complimentary whale watching trip in non-transferable.
We offer the "Rain Check" from May 15th to September 15.
That being said we really feel that our tours are amazing whether we see whales or not. The amount of wildlife in the Salish Sea is unbelievably diverse, not to mention the spectacular seascapes and scenery. Our commentary is fun, friendly and educational.
We are also firm believers of "If You Don't Go You Won't See!" There are a few tours each year that leave the dock with "no whale reports" only to find whales during the tour.
