Victoria Marine Wildlife Tour

As ever, the folks at Eagle Wing were friendly, professional, and went above and beyond for a magnificent tour! We saw dozens of humpback whales, plus also a huge sea lion, bald eagles, and the rare and beautiful Vancouver Island coastline. Naturalist Carol, Sam, and Kyle were friendly and helpful. Captain Evan did an amazing job angling the boat so we could clearly see the whales while maintaining a safe distance from them so as not to disturb them. I've been out with this company nearly a dozen times over the years; I will never choose another organization!

We got to see humpback whales, orcas, and some sea lions among other wildlife. Super fun, and the coats they provided really made a difference because it can get chilly out there. Recommend bringing a snack or two.

Unlike anything I’ve seen before. Saw way more whales than I would've expected! Definitely good bang for your buck we were on the water for hours it was beautiful. Rode with Molly, Emma, Jennifer, and Captain Joe! Would absolutely go again given the chance, highly recommend.

Cap. Trev and Tilly were amazing very knowledgeable and extremely helpful.

This was truly the best tour experience. Captain Evan, Sarah & Ryleigh we can't thank you enough. Your knowledge your kindness & your safety is what made our experience so memorable. We are so grateful we were able to see orcas !!!!! That was my dream & it came true. That moment when the orca came so close to the boat by the rock is probably the most beautiful site I've ever laid eyes on. The humpback & bald eagles & Sealian was such a bonus!!! Nature is SO beautiful & healing !!!! I highly recommend this experience & hope everyone gets a chance to see rhis in there lifetime.

This experience was priceless, you can’t put a valuation on the opportunity to see one of the world’s most powerful and enchanting creatures on Earth. It’s clear why Eagle Wing is considered the best in the area for this. The crew was incredibly accommodating, professional, and knowledgeable. But what separated this tour from others was the passion of our naturalists Lilli, Derek, and Keaton. They were brimming with knowledge, tips, and interesting facts well beyond expectations. That coupled with the skill and determination of our captain, created an unforgettable experience, the chance of a lifetime, to see one of nature’s most amazing creatures.

This tour completely blew our minds! Not only did we see multiple fluke dives and water spouts, we saw 2 whales breach, and one actually swam directly underneath our boat our boat and bumped us hard enough that we could feel it! We were close enough on several occasions to hear their blow, and once were close enough to smell it. (Not particularly pleasant…what they are expelling in addition to to water vapor is “whale snot”). We saw a Stellars sea lion, several harbor seals, and a couple of otters. (No eagles, though🙁) The crew were first of all, safety conscious, and demonstrated safety procedures much like airline cabin crew before takeoff. They were very knowledgeable, and willing to share their information. There were actually 2 crew members who were naturalists, and one member who is the official guardian of wildlife in a large area, living on a remote island for November thru February. Shout outs to Jo and Derrick, with kudos to all other crew members whose name I cannot remember. This tour, crew, and company is totally amazing. Were I to return to Victoria sometime in the future, I would use them again.

This was our third time out with Eagle Wing and it has never failed to impress. All the crew - Derek, Joanne, Carole and Rod - are extremely professional and engaging, they obviously love what they do which makes the experience so amazing. They know the area so well and love to share what they know about all of the sea life, the history of both the area and the whales and other wildlife the four hours goes by so quickly and it's both humbling and exhilarating. We were lucky to be able to pick up a floating mylar balloon too and learn about the dangers these cause to the environment and the sea life.

We Booked Eagle Wings Tours for our management retreat. Eagle Wings shares my companies philosophy on sustainability and are a great example of a local Vancouver Island company walking the walk. The tour was incredible and was enhanced by the guides Tom and Laura and Captain Trev. They were fantastic!! I will be booking this tour again and highly recommend this for team building.

Fantastic from start to finish, we saw Humpback whales and sea otters. Onboard facilities were great and the crew were amazing Big shout out to all of them Worth every penny
