Wonderful and unforgettable! - This was a wonderful trip. Captain Russ, Max and Tilley were just fabulous hosts. At one point I almost gave up hope but then their expertise led us to Humpackland!! We were surrounded by up to twenty whales and they were so close (their choice- all protocols were followed to the letter) we could smell their snot! On the way back, a bonus of a pod of 5 orca. We had this trip booked for the last day of our once-in-a-lifetime trip and it really was the ultimate cherry on the cake! Beautiful!

Making family memories - We had an amazing time on our trip. Totally reliant on luck in terms of wildlife you will get to see but we were the first boat to come across a group of Orca and had the privilege of watching them for a while before word got around to the other boats.The crew were welcoming, friendly and knowledgable.Boat very comfortable and extra hats, gloves etc available to borrow to keep warm.Layer up, take snacks/drinks and hope the whales want to make an appearance for you!

Eagle wing tour is the best! - We went Aug 18 @ 530pm. Nice experience seeing Orcas ,California sea lions, bald eagle seals & the sunset. The staffs are amazing especially the captain & crew..They provided us with parkas, pants, beanies to keep us warm . They are knowledgeable about whales & the rest of the mammals. The captain made sure that we can see the Orcas better while respecting their space, They really know how to treat well their guests, It’s really an exciting & non boring tour.Plus the provision of hot choco after the tour.

Super super super good - I tell you that I didn't have to high expectations when we went on this whale watching safari. The guides told us that we wouldn't approach whales and that we shouldn't expect that we would come closer than 100 meters from the animals since we didn't want to disturb them.
We spotted over 30 humpback whales! As the boat was just drifting the whales swam alla around the boat. I tell you less than 10 meters from the boat! The included image is from the trip in queston.
This was a stellar experience and no one could ever expect more than this from a whale watching safari.
The crew: Peter, Carol and Lili knew their thing and was really nice, informative and had a great sense of humor.
Cheers

Knowledgeable, Informative and Friendly Staff! - We enjoyed this immensely! This tour group is exceptional. They were very knowledgeable of not just the whales, but the area we were visiting. They were eager to answer questions while still teaching about the marine wildlife and habitat. We even stopped mid tour to help protect the marine life by picking up dangerous debris in the water!!!!! They aren't just tour guides, but conservationists! We couldn't have had a better time. SHOUT OUT TO THE CREW: Cpt Trev, Jo, Max, Liam, and Sarah! You rock!

Don’t wait- book this trip! - Shout out to Lily, Riley, Val and captain Rod for a fantastic bucket list trip! Quality people make a quality experience even better thank you for having trained naturalist, experienced captain beanie, coats, gloves, and anything a cold tourist may need to stay warm!
We we were hoping to have at least a whale sighting or two and this trip blew us away. This team are awesome at spotting and finding the whales. We saw a small family of orcas, a single male orca a humpback whale harbor seals numerous wildlife and we had a fantastic time.🙌🙌🐳🐳
If you’re wondering who to book with or if you should do this trip, choose Eagle Wing and do the trip!
While we didn’t have children with us? It was a wonderful experience for the kids that were on the boat. Can’t wait to bring my granddaughter.
