Best experience ever!

A memory I will have and hold dear. One of the best and most memorable experiences of my life! We saw whales….lots of whales more than 50 I’m sure (orcas and humpbacks) I saw more than 1 tear shed. The experience moved many people! The team did their best to ensure the safety of all the people on board and Derek did an amazing job as our tour guide, he is passionate about his job and it shows. My grandson was in awe of all the stories he told. Eagle wing, this employee is very valuable treat him well!

Humpback Heaven

Coming from Australia, we thought we knew humpback whales, but watching them feed like this was amazing! And so many! We also saw a bald eagle feeding and seals. The crew on the boat were highly experienced and knowledgeable.

Operator response

Thank you so much for the kind words! It means a lot to have welcomed you all the way from Australia, and we are so glad the experience still managed to surprise you! Watching the humpbacks feed really is something special. Thanks for choosing Eagle Wing, and we hope to see you back on the water with us again someday. All the best, Tianda

Spectacular Adventure From Start To Finish !!!!

The entire staff was very friendly and professional throughout our trip from start to finish. The trip started out finding 8 - 10 Humpback Whales within 30 minutes of being on the boat. We where able to spend 45 - 60 minutes viewing the Humpbacks. The captain then took us to another spot to learn about and watch several species of Water Birds and Sea Lions. We then found a Pod of Killer Whales and had about 30 - 45 minutes to follow, watch and learn about the Killer Whales. The boat was very smooth and fast allowing us to experience so much in our excursion. When we arrived back to the dock the crew had Hot Chocolate waiting for us. What a great way to finish off a spectacular trip.

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing this! It sounds like you had an absolutely spectacular day out with us from start to finish, and we are so glad you got to experience so much out on the water. Our crew works hard to make every trip special, right down to that hot chocolate waiting at the dock. Thanks for choosing Eagle Wing, and we hope to welcome you back on board again someday. All the best, Tianda

Unforgettable experience with my daughter!

Amazing, once in a lifetime bucket list trip! Crew was wonderful and very knowledgable. Willing to take us on a longer trip to see 3 combined pods of 18 whales. I wouldn't cruise with anyone else after this!
