The tour guides were amazing! They were very knowledgeable about the marine life and we learned a lot from them. They were very passionate about their jobs and about the conservation of the environment for the well being of the wildlife. We saw 1 whale, some porpoises, and some seal lions. It was a cool day so we stayed below deck for the most part, so make sure you bring warm clothes, just in case.

Hello Jzolli,
Thank you for choosing Orca Spirit Adventures and for taking the time to leave a review on your recent whale watching adventure on a covered vessel!
We are thrilled to hear you were able to see some of the amazing wildlife that we are so fortunate to have in the Salish Sea.
Thank you for mentioning our crew! They love being able to share their love and passion for the environment and wildlife that surrounds us.
We hope to welcome you on board with us again soon!
Best regards,

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
