Magical Experience! - Words cannot describe how magical this experience was for our family. We went on a tour with Eagle Wing on December 28th with the expectations of "hopefully" we would see some whales since it was off peak season. We left with an experience that is one for the books. We saw over 30+ killer whales (T-party) including several babies and 4 generations of a family. We also saw sea lions and bald eagles. You could tell the crew loves doing what they are doing. They are so informative and respectful of the animals in their natural environment. Thank you Captain Jeff, Tom, Carol, Selena, Val, and Caio for the experience of a lifetime!!

"Incredible Wildlife Experience with a Fantastic Crew!" - We had an incredible experience on the boat tour watching orcas and other marine wildlife! A special thanks to Selena, who convinced us to join the tour—she truly didn’t disappoint. We were lucky to see orcas, including a baby, sea lions, and other animals up close. The rest of the crew (Carol, Jeff, and Clint) were amazing as well, ensuring we had a safe and memorable trip. We highly recommend this company; they operate with sustainable values, which we greatly appreciated. Thank you for such a wonderful adventure

Great tour! Orcas up close - I did a 3 hours whale watching together with my son. The tour was very well organized, great and very friendly crew and most important of all they really know the whales and managed to bring us real close to a large group of Orcas. Was a fantastic experience! I also love that they had a professional photographer on board and shared the photos for free via Email and a download link. If I ever come to Victoria again I will book this tour again.

Education, conservation, and fun - Eagle Wing gave us an amazing tour! - My family of five (parents and kids aged 14, 18, 21) went on a tour with Eagle Wing on Dec. 30. We were blown away by the professionalism and conscientiousness of the company. The onboard naturalist, Carol, was extremely knowledgeable about the whales and other organisms in the ecosystem - and was super friendly and approachable as well. The crew maintained a respectful distance from the animals and let them come to us on their own terms. We were rewarded with the attention of two curious humpbacks, who spent over half an hour repeatedly surfacing on one side of the boat and then the other. All of us were utterly rapt and felt so lucky to have this close encounter! We later saw three more humpbacks, as well as countless sea lions and Harbour Seals - plus a bald eagle that flew right overhead. We learned so much about the ecology of the Salish Sea and had an amazing time. The boat itself was very comfortable, with clean bathrooms, comfortable benches, and toys and books for kids and adults to peruse. I 100% recommend this tour to visitors and residents alike. We look forward to going again in the summertime!

Best whale watch ever - Wow this was THE best whale watch ever. We went in December, which is off peak season, but still saw about 30 orcas. We started by coasting past Trial Island to see the California Sea Lions, Stellaris Sea Lions, and Harbor Seals, then went out a bit more and saw multiple pods of orcas! The staff were friendly, intelligent, informative, and most importantly, told the other guests to squish together so everyone could see. The Capitan didn't peace out while I was trying to take pictures (which has happened to me on other tours). And they clearly loved and respected the wildlife. 10/10 would visit again. Thanks Jeff, Selena, Tom, and Caio for a great trip!

Amazing December outing with Eagle Wing - Amazing trip where we saw sea lions, seals and bald eagles as well as a family of killer whales. These were hunting seals and came right up under the boat for a close up view. All of the staff at every level of the operation including Clint and Selena and Captain Jeff running the boat and Carol giving excellent information about the wildlife and how best to spot them. I have never been out on the boats in December but would highly recommend, it might be a bit chillier but also far less boats out as well, we were the only boat in the vicinity of the killer whale family.

Fantastic experience - Excellent tour guides! Really informative and interesting learning about whales. Lily and Tilli were incredibly passionate about marine life and made the tour really fun! The boat was lovely and the captain optimised the position of the boat to enhance viewing of the whales and marine life. It was great receiving complimentary professional photos of the animals see on the tour, free of charge. Would highly recommend this tour.
My only feedback moving forward is that it was very cold doing this tour in December. It was beautiful, clear and sunny on the day and the team kindly had spare hats and gloves for guests, however, it would be helpful next time of the tour information gave an average temperature for when out on the sea for that time of year do guests no to dress warmer. The hat, gloves, jumper etc thar I wore was not quite enough, I feel I could have done with having snow trousers, snow gloves and a balaclava etc. Otherwise, great tour! Thank you.
