Tons of killer whales and gorgeous views! - From start to finish the zodiac boat tour was amazing! Our tour guide Ian did a fabulous job communicating while looking for the whales. Before long we were between 2-4 family pods of killer whales! We watched for almost an hour and followed them along. Ian gave interesting information and answered any questions, very friendly. We then went on to see huge rocks cover in sea lions and seals. After Ian wanted us to be able to see a hump back whale which we found very quickly! The views were spectacular, the animals out, and we have the best time. Highly recommend to anyone travelling to Victoria, it will be the highlight of your trip!

Whale Watching - The experience was a once in a lifetime experience! Our tour guide Heather was very knowledgeable about whales and made us feel right at home. She offered so much information about the whales and went out of her way so that we could spot orcas. It was such an amazing tour and Heather made it 100x better!

thrilling ride! - Heather was a very competent captain and giving us information about what to expect. We saw a family of orcas which was amazing. You don’t always get as close as you would like, however.

Fantastic! - We had an incredible day on the water with Ian. He was brilliant - made sure we didn’t miss a single animal! Highlights include seeing sea otters, sea lions, seals, humpback whales (4!) and a pod of killer whales! Springtide is a fantastic company to go with.
