Mackay Whale Watching

Bill and Donna make this a great excursion. The boat is a great platform for the adventure providing good sight lines, coverage if the weather is nasty and plenty of room to move around. Lunch bring provided is a great bonus. I feel like this is one of the best locations on all of Vancouver Island with the highest likelihoods of seeing whales. Great value!

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 spot is probably the best on vancouver island, but Bill the captain and Marieke are definitely the best, we had residents and biggs orcas, in huge numbers, could get an "orcasm", humpback whales and seals, birds and finally they served a mama bear with two cubs, and the boat is very comfortable, thank you two!! never will forget this day

Spent a super day whale watching with the BEST guy on the waters of Johnstone Strait today. A very enjoyable experience with lots of laughs and good soup. I would seriously recommend a day trip with McKay Whale Watching for anyone interested in a superb experience.
