Amazing whales tour from Eagle Tours - This tour was a highlight of our trip to Victoria. It was amazing. We decided to choose Eagle tours because they have covered catamaran in case of rain and also a chance to join again in case you didn't see the whales. However we had seen several killer whales and have been observing them for almost an hour! Tour guides are very knowledgeable and ready to answer your questions. Another great thing is that they use professional cameras to capture the encounter with wild animals and share it with all visitors free of charge. I can highly recommend this company!

Fantastic Tour - This was a fantastic tour. We were lucky to see whales, sea lions, seals, and eagles. The pictures they send after the tour are free and much better than what we could get on our phones. It allowed us to take in the views. Thank you, Clint, Sam, Tom, Carol, and Captain Rod

Wow! What an experience! - The most amazing trip! It was cold and raining but the staff made it all worth while. We got to see two groups of Orca, Bald Eagles, Sea Lions and other birds and wildlife. It was worth the time and money to share a wonderful experience with my husband and daughter for her 18th birthday.

Guaranteed Whale Sightings - We have gone out with Eagle Wing several times and have never been disappointed. We feel the naturalists on board are well trained, knowledgeable and nice. They offer a whale sighting guarantee which may be difficult to achieve at this time of the year. The humpbacks are elsewhere and the orcas are few. We sailed in a westerly direction and the swells were large although the day was sunny and relatively warm. No whales in sight! Then we turned toward Vancouver Island and got pretty close to shore. There they were!! Three orcas. That was soon followed by sightings of seals, sea lions, a sea otter (I just love sea otters!) and several bald eagles. The staff are invariably nice and will urge you to ask questions. Like how much do these orcas eat in a day? 400 pounds of food -- usually 4 seals in a day will satisfy them. Eagle Wing will guarantee a sighting so if you fail to see a whale when you go out, they will offer you another trip for another try. Of course, if you are only visiting Victoria for one day, you are out of luck unless you come back. A note on how to dress? Even on a bright sunny day it gets really COLD out on the seas. So dress warmly, wear a tight fitting hat that won't blow off, and if your hands get cold, wear gloves!

Best Experience! - We had an absolutely incredible experience with Eagle Wing Whale Watching! From start to finish, the crew was fantastic—especially with our two young children. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and engaged, sharing fascinating information about the marine life and the local ecosystem. The tour itself was breathtaking! We were lucky enough to see multiple Orcas up close, along with sea lions playing and swimming in the water. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and worth every penny. The passion and knowledge of the guides made it even more special. If you're considering a whale-watching tour, this is the one to book. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience - Our experience with Chrystelle, Carol and the crew was amazing from start to finish. Both Chrystelle and Carol are clearly incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, with so much information and experience to share. We were fortunate to witness four very active humpback whales (full breaches), sea lions and eagles. Thank you for an amazing experience.

Experience of a lifetime! - This tour was AMAZING! Even though January isn't the best time, we had the most astonishing luck: orcas to the left and right of the boat, a humpback whale that spent about an hour circling the boat and did several dives and a full breach for us, a huge group of adult bald eagles, plus harbor porpoises, harbor seals, and both California and Stellar sea lions. The guides were informative and friendly, the captain was sure-handed, the on-board photographers captured some incredibly gorgeous photographs, and the boat was comfortable and cozy, even on a really cold day. Cannot recommend this highly enough!
