A touching experience - The trip was amazing, inspiration and touching. We saw so many killer whales, including a baby! As well as sea lions, harbour seals, & some very special dear! Sarah, Tim, Izzy and Pete were so friendly & knowledgeable and I learned so much. I was so touched & a few tears were shed. I will be back for sure!

Beautiful day for a winter time tour. Will be back asap. - We went on a spectacular whale watching tour in December. The staff are all super engaged and eager to share their wealth of knowledge. Izzy, Tom, Captain Pete and Sarah were all fantastic and clearly are very passionate about the work they do. We saw more wildlife than I anticipated especially being as it was in the winter months. The trip was well worth it and part of admission costs go towards an education program that they run for local kids. Will definitely be back for another tour soon. Thanks again to all the awesome staff!

5 Stars - The crew is absolutely amazing, Tilly and Jo were especially great to learn from and talk to! My partner and I booked this for our first trip to Victoria and we were not disappointed. Thankfully we had a beautiful day but I’d bet even in less than ideal weather you’ll have a wonderful time thanks to the passionate crew. I’m so glad we went with eagle wing tours; their dedication to sustainability and protecting the environment is extremely important to support. Thank you for an experience we’ll never forget!!

Fantastic bird-watching tour! - Fantastic bird-watching tour with this company on November 10. The weather was cold but the rain held off. The crew went above and beyond to ensure everyone’s comfort and offered extra clothing if you needed to borrow something to keep warm! We visited several islands in the Salish sea between Victoria and Sidney to the north. There was an amazing bird guide (Liam) from Rocky Point Bird Observatory who was co-leading the tour with the equally amazing staff (Tom and Tilly) from Eagle Wing tours. There was a second bird guide (sorry, forgot his name) who stayed with passengers that preferred to be at rear of the boat which was warmer and less bumpy. But along the channels between islands the ride was smoother anyway. The boat also had covered indoor seating with lots of windows. The guides directed the safe and professional captain to take us to where the birds are! They knew of spots where specific species like to hang out. We saw hundreds of seabirds and learned to ID their winter plumage. We even saw a couple of rarities including a lone, very ‘tame’ Tufted puffin and a Leach’s storm petrol that glided along the boat for awesome views! We cruised along shorelines to see some cool land birds as well, including a Northern shrike. The commentary was excellent, so educational! They also explained the history of the region and stopped so that we could watch humpback whales which was not the focus of the tour but definitely an added bonus on this particular day. This tour was bird specific and the best part was that they made everyone feel welcome, whether you are a casual or beginner birder without fancy optics for viewing the birds, or an expert birder with a scope, or a photographer with a long zoom lens. This tour catered to all levels of birders! Liam generously shared ebird lists with anyone who uses that app, and the Eagle Wing staff took some photos that will be posted for all to enjoy. Great for an amateur like me who doesn’t have a camera. Birdwatching tours are apparently a new thing for this company, so glad I found out about this trip from their website. I would go birding again with them anytime!

An unforgettable experience with an amazing team - We had an amazing adventure with Eagle Wind Tours! One of the highlights of our trip in Alberta and BC. Not only did we get to see 17 orcas, 3 humpback whales, many California sea lions, harbour seals and Steller sea lions, but we got to be lucky enough to hear the orcas and see them breach!! 🤩 It is an unforgettable moment!! Thank you to Meaghan and Jo-Anne for their knowledge and kindness, to Peter for getting us there and around and to Tom for his photos and his knowledge on each orca individual. You guys make an incredible team!! Way to go!!

Awesome tour! - Went on this tour with my work colleagues, it was an awesome experience! Captain Evan and Jo were great and we saw orca’s, humpbacks and lots of other wildlife. I would definitely recommend this tour!

PLS BOOK A TOUR WITH THEM - I downloaded trip adviser just to do this review. Please if you are visiting the victoria area, make this a staple or highlight of your trip! It is worth every single penny and that is a phrase used often. Came from toronto to visit a friend and also in hopes to see my favourite animal, an orca. Really great area the tour is situated on. Derek, who was our guide was friendly and so knowledgeable. I enjoyed every single second even just the boat rushing out once it got out harbour. Saw orcas, humpback whales, sea lions and harbour seals and even a family of river otters while we came back in. Just incredible. Nothing would prepare me not just for the luck of seeing orcas but to see a young one under two years, the luck of seeing that. Derek is an incredible guide and i stayed close throughout the trip just to ask questions and learn. Really inspired by his work and what the eagle team offers. What a classroom he gave us in front of the wildlife. This is a must opportunity for anyone seeking whales in Victoria. This isn’t simply a “tourist” attraction, this is a classroom. Thank you for what you do!

Couldn't have enjoyed it more. Great experience - This review comes as part of an itinerary of a road trip arranged by Audley Travel. Staff were very helpful and the boat was wheelchair accessible. Getting on and off was easy and I was made to feel comfortable throughout the whole trip. We saw some fantastic wildlife. Really pleased with the whole experience.

The Best Experience delivered by experts who definitely went further than other companies - This was the best experience I could imagine delivered by enthusiastic, knowledgeable experts Brett and Evan. The morning of the trip they had some information about the possibility of Orcas some distance away. There were other tour companies who were watching humpbacks much closer to shore. Brett and Evan didn’t take the easy option.We motored out to see if we were able to locate the Orcas. We found around 13 of them, with calves, in playful mood . We watched at a respectful distance and at times with engines off in the silence of the Saltish sea. It was absolutely magical, they were breaching and swimming under our boat. We were given so much information about them and were able to listen to their communication from microphones placed over board. I honestly will never forget the experience and felt close to tears on times. Thanks to Eagle Wing and Brett and Evan particularly who made this an exceptional trip. So glad we booked with them!

Very enjoyable trip, recommended - Excellent staff, starting with the person at the counter who sold us our tickets and who gave us good advice. Thank you Sam and Lily on the boat. Very successful trip, lots of humpbacks and beautiful sightings of seven orcas. The boat was generally smooth and comfortable. Good value, recommended. Bring more layers of warm clothes than you think you need. The boat has jackets and caps and gloves but why not have your own? This was a wet September day and it was cold.
