We really enjoyed our tour with Jamie's, Scott was super knowledgeable and very experienced on the water. We were lucky enough to see some grey whales at a time of year when it is somewhat rare. Also appreciated Jamie's rescheduling of our tour due to bad weather in the forecast. Highly recommend if you are in Tofino.

Incredibly day! This trip is worth every penny. The boat ride to the springs was so beautiful and our guide had great commentary to educate us as we went. We saw several whales and a raft of sea otters. The walk into the springs is magical and the springs themselves feel amazing. Don’t forget to dip in the ocean! Then it was a gorgeous ride back as the sun was setting. Couldn’t believe the spectacular October day we had :)

Highly recommend! Had a great time and saw some grey whales, sea lions and lots of sea otters. The tour around the island is breath takingly beautiful! The crew was very kind, and gave us lots of information on the island itself, and interesting information on the habits of all the beautiful animals we saw.

I would like to suggest to everyone to do a whale watching tour with Jamie! It was a very nice experience.We were lucky (or Jamie very skilled to find the animal :-)) and in our 3 hours trip we see a lot of sea otter just some minutes after we depart from the harbor and then, before reaching the open sea, we saw two killer whales, one small and one adult! They was playing and Jamie was good to stop and allow to see them in the right moment. Then, we reached the open ocean and we saw two grey whales, very nice.Where we are coming back to the harbor we saw also a lot of seal in the beach of one of small island around Tofino.I appreciate a lot how the crew take care of us, especially before departing, giving us a very good explanations about security in order to be safe during the trip.Beside that I appreciate the entire communication: we booked from Italy a lot of months in advance, we confirmed by mail and they sent us also an SMS to confirm they received our information.It's good for adult but also for child: my daughter (8 years old) was very excited to see animals she saw only on documentary.If you visit Vancouver Island and would like to see sea wildlife, for me Jamie's trip is the best choice.

Great provider of whale-watching, nature and hot springs tours. Our skipper was charismatic and always had safety in mind, we were able to get some good views of a grey whale and many sea otters and birds. It was quite a blast riding a boat through the narrow channels to the hot springs cove. Caution if you are going to the hot springs, the rocks are slippery and there are many, water shoes are definitely recommend.

Excellent communication when told the trip had to be cancelled due to weather and was put on the tour for the following day. We saw two bears, three seals, and plenty of Canadian Geese on our trip. The naturalist and crew member was very informative with facts. Highly recommend this tour! Also recommend wearing waterproof clothing and something warm if going out in the colder months.

We saw three bears on the beach but only two at any time. We were given plenty of time to take photos. The boat was turned so people on both sides could get good photos. Then we saw some sea otters

The Hot Springs Cove trip was amazing from start to finish! We saw whales, sea otters, sea lions, eagles, porpoises and of course the hot springs were such a nice way to soak and let the beautiful surroundings take your breath away. Massive kudos to our Captain Aaron, he was an absolute gem, full of fun facts and a witty charm. He really was the icing on the cake! I can't wait to return already! If your thinking about booking this tour, do it!!!! You won't regret it!

We went out two days in a row (Whale watching day one and the Hot Springs tour day two) with Greg at Jamie’s and it was wonderful. Firstly, the weather was unbelievably spectacular. Secondly, Greg was the most knowledgeable, friendly, caring and experienced tour guide we ever could have asked for. While the whole staff at Jamie’s was truly amazing and made our girls trip memorable, Greg’s knowledge base truly made the trip for me. As someone who grew up on Vancouver Island it was an amazing experience that everyone at Jamie’s made special. Thank you guys!!! See you next time!! If I could give 10/5 stars I would

the trip to the hot springs and the road were unforgettable, the weather changed 3 times and it was great! we could observe the clouds descending to the water and the sun breaking through the clouds and the brilliance of the rays in the spray of the waves! The most memorable was the change in route, when the captain heard on the radio that the orcas were nearby. We managed to see a family of 3 whales. 5 stars - definitely! I recommend and will repeat!
