Lili, Rod, Caio, and Derek made this trip fantastic. We spotted a Fin whale on our excursion and you could feel the excited energy from the team. That level of excitement really shows how much this crew cares about what they do! The crew was incredibly knowledgeable and had meaningful and interesting commentary throughout the tour. I’m an ecology student and a wildlife nerd and I had a blast learning more about the local marine life. I would highly recommend this company! I chose them because of their excellent reviews and emphasis on conservation/sustainability and I was not disappointed. The sunset was stunning and I had so much fun. Bring plenty of layers, as advised, as it gets pretty chilly at night! But the team also has a ton of extra layers available which is great :)
Very nice! We saw maybe 6 or 7 whales. Very fun. I got lots of videos and pics. The guide and captain were professional and friendly. Super Canadian. They gave us jackets and toques which was wonderful as it got cold on the ocean.
Thank you! Sounds like you had a fantastic tour! That professional, friendly (and very Canadian) touch is what we aim for. We hope you will join us again sometime! All the best, Tianda
What an absolutely unforgettable experience! We were lucky enough to see at least 50 whales throughout the tour, including multiple humpbacks surrounding our boat at one point. It truly felt surreal and exceeded every expectation we had. A huge shoutout to Tilly, Lilly, Jared, and Sarah. They were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely passionate about marine life. They made everyone feel welcome, answered every question with enthusiasm, and shared so many fascinating facts that made the experience even more special. The crew clearly cares deeply about both their guests and the wildlife, making sure the whales were observed respectfully while giving us amazing views and plenty of time to soak it all in. If you’re in Victoria and considering a whale watching tour, I can’t recommend Eagle Wing Tours enough. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip, and we’ll be talking about it for years to come!
Wow!! What an incredible experience! Thank you for sharing! We're so glad our crew's passion for marine life shone through and that you felt welcomed every step of the way, all while giving the whales the respectful space they deserve. It means the world to hear this was a highlight of your trip, and we'd love to welcome you aboard again. All the best, Tianda
Was fantastic! Orcas swam under our boat which we were very lucky with. Very good guide with lots of explanations and answer all questions. Had a lovely day
Heel erg bedankt dat u de tijd heeft genomen om uw ervaring te delen! We zijn erg blij dat u een geweldige tijd heeft gehad en ons team als behulpzaam en deskundig heeft ervaren. We hopen u graag nog eens te mogen verwelkomen als u weer in Victoria bent! Hartelijke groet, Tianda
A unique experience shared with family. It was truly a magical moment! What a privilege to be able to experience this. The team was really great, and the boat is perfect, especially if the weather is not very good.
Merci! Quel bonheur de savoir que ce moment en famille restera un souvenir magique. C'est une vraie chance de pouvoir vivre ça, et nous sommes ravis que l'équipe et le bateau aient été à la hauteur, même avec une météo un peu capricieuse. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à bord à nouveau. Bien à vous, Tianda
Great boat, FANTASTIC CREW, very knowledgeable and very accomodating. We didn't see Orca's that day, saw them 11 out of the previous 12 days, but they put us on humpbacks breaching for several hours. Would recommend them 100%. Derek, Lili, Jo, and Captian Rod were our crew. They provided information well above " look left and look right". Truely exciting and Informative trip. Thank you from Texas and Australia!!
Thank you! The orcas may have taken the day off, but humpbacks breaching for hours is hard to beat. Our team is really so incredible, knowledgable and truly love what they do. Glad that came through! Greetings to Texas and Australia, and we'd love to welcome you aboard again. All the best, Tianda
Our trip far exceeded any expectations we had. From check in at the harbour the staff were excellent, friendly, knowledgeable and truly loved their roles as ambassadors for whales and marine wildlife. The vessel was spacious and comfortable and in very good condition, with extras like binoculars, blankets, and outerwear for guests comfort. As well, snacks for a small donation. We had so many whale sightings and some up close encounters, which were unexpected and immensly thrilling. Guides were knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing and answering questions and often just as excited we were. I recommend Eagle Wing as my top marine tour company.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Our team truly does love what they do, and it shows when guests feel as much excitement as they do. Thanks for choosing Eagle Wing and for naming us your top marine tour company! We would love to welcome you back any time. All the best, Tianda
We had an amazing experience on this tour! We had seven people two of which were small children ages three and four everyone on board was very knowledgeable helpful and safety was number one priority! It was great to have the ability to be outside or inside, especially with the children the best News of all… We saw whales! 🐳. Two different pods!!! It was simply AMAZING!! Thank you Captain Joe, Derek, Keaton and Lili!!! What a lifelong memory for me and my family!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this! It sounds like you and your family had an absolutely wonderful day out with us, and we are so glad it turned into a memory you will all hold onto. We love that the trip worked so well for your little ones too, having the option to be inside or out really does make a difference with young children aboard. Thanks for choosing Eagle Wing, and we would love to welcome your family back any time. All the best, Tianda
We planned a trip to Victoria to go whale watching and were lucky enough to see orcas and humpback whales! The crew were so friendly and knowledgeable- thank you to Derek, Laura, Carol and Captain Trev. We loved being on Derek’s side of the boat. His dedication to the wildlife of the Salish Sea came through in every interaction - he was happy to answer any questions. Thank you Derek! There was plenty of room so everyone could have a good view of the whales and move around depending on which side the whales were based. Even though it was June we were glad to have brought warm layers and a jacket. They do provide hats and gloves but I would make sure to bring your own to ensure you stay warm. We are so pleased that we choose Eagle Wing Tours and would recommend it to anyone that visits Victoria!
Thank you so much for sharing this! It sounds like you had a wonderful day out with us, and we are so glad the experience lived up to the trip you had planned. Great tip on the warm layers too, even in summer it can catch people off guard out on the water. Thanks for choosing Eagle Wing, and we hope to see you back in Victoria again someday. All the best, Tianda
It was amazing!! Being able to see orcas AND a humpback whale was such a great experience! They were so beautiful! The crew was also amazing! Everyone was so sweet, answered all our questions, and made the experience special. Shoutout to Laura, Carol, Derek, and Trev for working hard and sharing their love of wildlife with us!
Thank you! What a fantastic day! Sharing the wonder of the Salish Sea with guests like you is exactly why we do what we do. We hope to welcome you aboard again before long. All the best, Tianda
