Great crew, Lots of Whales! - Such a great experience and we saw so many humpbacks! Crew was knowledgable, professional and friendly. Only downside was getting splashed by big boat wave within 10 minutes asea. Some nice rain gear/ponchos would be a nice addition to keep dry.

Extraordinary Day! - The weather was storybook perfect. While we signed up excited to see Whales, this trip was so much more. The water was perfectly calm, the views were so peaceful and the birds were fascinating to watch. The captain and naturalist, Darrel was so knowledgable and made the trip much more than seeing whales. We saw humpbacks, sea lions, sea otter, bald eagles and the island with a beautiful light house. If you want an great boat experience while in Victoria choose this company. You will enjoy your trip, learn about the marine life in Victoria and support research and conversation of the oceans with Eagle Wing!

Amazing whale-watching experience - I rarely write reviews, but the team that took us whale-watching were so wonderful that I feel compelled to tell everyone. We saw 23 orcas that day, plus two hump back whales and numerous sea lions. The boat is very comfortable and immaculate. They even had extra jackets, hats and gloves for those who got cold. The staff could not have been warmer, more engaging or knowledgeable. One took fantastic photos with a huge telephoto lens, enabling the rest of us to enjoy the moment rather than fixating on our phone cameras. All in all, totally worth it and highly recommend it.

A must!! - The cruise was beyond fabulous. I didn't get my hopes up that we would see anything, I was wrong to feel like this and was amazed with the sights and I'm completely awe of the beauty of the Orca and Humpback Whales. Dereck was a joy to listen to during the cruise, his knowledge and passion made our time so enjoyable, towards the end of the cruise I was so cold but couldn't tear myself away to head inside in fear of missing his commentary. It was also inspiring to hear how the money raised from the cruises is invested back into education, preservation, and conservation. An Eagle Wing tour is a must if you are in Victoria. If you are not planning to visit, you should, just to join one of their tours. It's a must!

Once in a lifetime experience! - Exceptional experience. We saw orca, sea otters, humpback whales, and sea lions. The crew provide fun and helpful information and are fun and helpful. Not that this is guaranteed, but we saw 2 humpback whales breaching 30-40 times! This was a once in a lifetime experience!! Well done Eagle Wing!
