Must experience - Incredible experience on the water yesterday! Orcas, sea lions and 2 humpbacks! The breach was the icing on the cake. Loved how the crews got soo excited as well when we saw the animals. Lili and Sarah were our highlight as they were soo kind and educational and brought the energy to the boat. Thanks to Lili I was able to record the breach, and will cherish that video forever. Of course shout out to Cap Rod who found us these stunning mammals. Was originally hesitant about all of the people on the boat, but it worked out well!

No less than awesome! - Fabulous trip from start to finish. Fisherman's wharf where the tour starts from is really cool with some craft shops and eateries. We took the semi covered catamaran boat and the whole trip was amazing. Our guides Lily, Sarah and Jo were super friendly and so very knowledgeable about the wildlife, and the captain did an amazing job of finding as much as possible for us ... even staying out on the water beyond the 3.5hour trip so we could see more. It did not disappoint on what we saw on a beautiful sunny day - we saw a pod of 7 orcas including mother and calves and some juveniles. Then they took us to see a large rookery of sea lions in Whale island, with a group of young sea lions playing in the water alongside the boat. Then finally we were treated to see 2 hump back whales that the captain spotted. We were lucky to see the tail fin and then one of them did a breach and dive right in front of us which was no less than awesome. All in all I would highly recommend Eagle Wing. Great trip, knowledgeable staff and a great experience, worth every penny.

Simply Breathtaking - We were taken out my Joe and Carol on a whale watching cruise, my friend and I had an amazing time. The boats all work together checking out different areas to spot whales and we were fortunate enough to see a humpback whale and her calf as well as some orcas on our trip! There are no words to do it justice when you get to see these amazing animals in their natural habitat getting to see them so close. Joe and Carol were also really passionate and knowledgeable about the wildlife, they made the trip so fun and interesting. We chose to go on a smaller zodiac style boat so we had uninterrupted views all around and it was also just fun cruising around Victoria harbour and the surrounding islands. Would definitely recommend Eagle Wing if you’re looking to take a whale watching cruise out of Victoria!

So beautiful and a lot of fun - The staff was amazing. They were very personable and informative! They really took the time to answer any questions we may have had and had some fun stories to tell. This is how I spent my 60th birthday and I loved every minute of it!

Absolutely epic! - Captain Joe, Sarah and Tom provided an absolutely epic tour. Their passion for the water and the wildlife was obvious. They welcomed us onboard and made us comfortable. Their knowledge of the marine life, bird life, etc., was amazing. We spotted humpback whales and orcas. What I loved most was that we avoided the areas crowded with boats. They took their time to give us an incredible tour. I would highly recommend this company!

Highly Recommended!!! - We loved our whale watching tour with Eagle Wing Tours! The staff was so knowledgeable with every aspect of the lives of orca and humpbacks! Derck was incredibly impressive with his vast background in all things whales, really adding to our trip. We saw a mama humpback and her baby and several orcas. It was a thrilling day!

Brilliant Whale Watching Cruise - I would have rated this cruise as 6* if I could. I found Eagles Wings were highly professional, very well organised, and their customer service in relation to a change in my schedule was exceptional. Most importantly, they find the wildlife, and their onboard team is so enthusiastic, knowledgeable and personable. I had an exceptional afternoon.
