★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our experience with Mackay Whale Watching was fantastic! The hilarious and enthusiastic Captain Bill found a large group of resident orcas in about half an hour and we spent the day watching them in close proximity without ever getting the sense that we were disturbing them. Twice during the voyage, a large pod of Pacific White-Sided Dolphins showed up to ride and jump in our wake. A one-of-a-kind experience that you can't miss if you find yourself on the northern end of Vancouver Island.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The tour was great. The crew know a lot about the different wales and it is a very nice boat. We see a lot of different animals. We got a vegetarian soup and a bread for lunch. I would choose Mackay Whale Watching for my next Whale watching Tour at Vancouver Island.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ All around excellent! We were out for five hours total since we had to head way east to find the orcas, after spending more than an hour with the humpbacks.
All the commercial boats share whale locations, so I think you'd see whales no matter what, but I chose Mackay because
- longest outing (plus soup for lunch)
- small family business
- price was actually cheapest, too (we got 10% off the posted price as a family group over 4 people)
Word to the wise: you will get more out of it if you are on top where the you can hear what the captain / guide are saying

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a great day! The Captain was funny, welcoming and knowledgeable, the boat was comfortable and safe, and the wildlife was amazing! The orcas were a little elusive today, although we did see a few, but the big show was the dolphins and sea lions swimming together amongst the humpbacks! It was a rainy, wet day, but the heated cabin and the hot soup for lunch kept everybody in good spirits. Definitely a great day and I would highly recommend this company!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Did a great three hour tour with this professional, clean and fun outfit. The boat was very comfortable with both warm inside areas and two outside areas. Great views from all angles. They're currently all set up for covid-safety with partitioned areas inside.
Captain Bill and the bio-guide Marieke were SO lovely! They were both full of knowledge and stories. We learned about the history and ecology of the area, plus they're both very funny and had the group laughing lots.
I know it varies by day, but we saw a small pod of orcas, a large pod of about 15 dolphins, a ton of porpoises, and SIX humpback whales! Everything was observed by a respectful distance.
I would totally recommend McKay Whale Watching. Great boat, great people, great day!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you take any other company's tour, you're missing out!! Mackay Whale Watching was amazingly professional from the beginning to the end. Captain Bill's decades of experience and knowledge is second to none, and the Naiad is a phenomenal vessel. The knowledge of our guide Marieke was incredible, her passion shines through - her incredible encyclopedic knowledge of the whales and her enthusiasm made the entire trip! My family will never forget our sightings of Humpbacks, Sea otters, Sea Lions and Orcas ❤

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Captain Bill Mackay is a seasoned veteran of these waters and a naturalist. On our tour we say orcas, humpbacks, sea lions and dolphins. Though I had some reluctance about going on a whale watching tour, I felt we always stayed respectful of these beautiful creatures and we learned a lot about them from Captain Bill's knowledge and decades of experience. I gained a deeper appreciation and love for the orcas and the Salish Sea after this tour. Highly recommended!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Marieke and Captain Bill were amazing, so knowledgeable and fun! We saw sea otters, stellar sea lions, humpback whales, an eagle and orcas! Thanks to MacKay Whale Watching, we learned so much about all the marine life we saw and also heard the orcas on the hydrophone. This was definitely my best experience whale watching and I can’t wait to go back! Such a perfect day on the water!
