A real bucket list check!! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an incredible experience on the Eagle Wing Tour's sunset tour to see the orcas! Pete and Ryley were absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, funny, and attentive. They took excellent care of us throughout the trip, sharing a wealth of information about the orcas and the surrounding environment. Their passion and expertise truly made the tour unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Spectacular - What a special experience this was, with a comfortable half-covered boat we saw whales, killer whales, sea lions and otters. The expert crew provides a lot of information and ensures an unforgettable trip. This was more than worth the money.

Exceptional, beautiful, do not follow the guides, opt for the best - A just exceptional excursion aboard Captain Russ' boat and his crew of Jo, Kristina, Max and Chrystelle. They took us humpback whale watching and each time managed to place themselves properly. In addition they give us real explanations and are really passionate about what they do. On the way back, stop by Race Rocks to observe sea lions and seals. The boat is comfortable and they do everything to make us feel comfortable. They provide equipment to stay warm and are attentive to passengers. Thank you, thank you and thank you, this will remain exceptional memories. In addition, they actively participate in environmental protection programs. Recommended without any hesitation.

Amazing - I've never been whale watching, so didn't know what to expect. It was absolutely magical. The crew was outstanding- although I didn'tcatch name spellings so am just gonna wing it. Captain Rod, JoAnn, Christina, and Natalie were so, so good. You could tell they really love what they're doing. We got to hear about how the tourism boats play a part in conservation and monitoring efforts (if they see endangered animals, they leave the area immediately, and call it in so other boats will be kept away to allow endangered species to have space). Our tour was lucky enough to see several humpbacks (well, maybe just one or two individuals, but they came to the surface 7-9 times). The crew provided education on the behaviors, while making sure that the guests on the boat knew the best places to stand so we could see. Overall, I'd highly recommend it. But definitely take a boat with some shelter- if not, plan to wear layers. Eagle Wing Tours has clothing & blankets if you need it, but doesn't hurt to come prepared.

Excellent Experience! - Amazing sunset whale watching cruise. Crew was so hospitable and knowledgable. We had a great viewing session with Orcas. That they took and sent out tour photos to participants was awesome so I could focus on the experience and not on my camera. Would highly recommend and I plan to go back out with them on my next trip to Victoria!

Exzellente Wal Tour. With free images from a professional photographer. - Exzellente Wal Tour. With a lot of knowledge about whales. The staff was very friendly and helpful. But the best part was getting pictures from the tour from a professional photographer.
