Great tour - Our guide, Tyler did a great job handling the Zodiac and communicating with us while doing it. He was able to show us and tell us interesting facts about orcas, seals, and sea lions. He was funny and informative. The tour was easy to set up and they answered our many questions with a lot of patience. Highly recommend

Food tour with a twist. - This tour was fun and enjoyable, even in the rain! We walked around town, taste tested a range of food and, learnt so much about the history of the area. It felt good to support local businesses.

Fantastic Whale Watching! - We had a fantastic whale watching trip with Orca Spirit! Emma & Ryan are very enthusiastic and knowledgeable which really added to the trip. We saw SO many whales - tales and even breaching! It was beautiful :) Highly recommend Orca Spirit - this was my second trip and I would choose them again next time I'm in Victoria.

Exciting and Fun - What an awesome experience. The tour was filled with great information, and the crew did everything they could to help us see as much marine life as possible. We lucked out...Humpbacks galore :) The tour was safe and so much fun. We met people from so many places around the world. This was our second tour with this company, and saw orcas and humpbacks September 2023. Will be back again.

A once in a lifetime experience to get close to whales, seals, sea lions, otters and nature - The zodiac was definitely the best way to see the whales and we were not disappointed. Liam was awesome very knowledgeable and fun he knew exactly where to go. We were able to take the best pictures and videos and could not have been closer. The whole staff were great and helpful. It was a dream come true experience. My wife and daughters all said there teeth were cold from smiling so much. Thank you.

Zodiac whale watching is the way to do it! - Mick, our captain was great, he had a lot of interesting information to share and was able to show us a lot of wild life including sea otter, sea lions, seal, bald eagles and so many humpbacks!!! including a mother and calf! The seal lion flinging the octopus into the air before his meal was terrific! I have been on whale watching tours before but never by zodiac, the zodiac was my favourite by far, its a nimble way to get around quickly and feels great to be so close to the water! Thank you for a great afternoon!
