Most Excellent :)
It was a great experience! We had seen some orca's, humpback whales, and sea lions! Thank you to Michael for being an excellent guide and for teaching us about the mammals and for the stories that he shared with us. He just made the trip more memorable.

Great experience all around
Makes for a great half day activity! Laura and Tom were great guides with lots of info to share. (Tom I went to the fish store like you recommended, got the salmon and cod, 10/10). I went late May and we saw 3 Orcas, a humpback whale, sealions and porpoises, as well as pelagic cormorants! Was happy to have the partially covered boat as even with a big hoody and windbreaker it was still pretty cold, so it was nice to come inside for a bit. sunglasses and beanie instead of ballcap recommended. The company is both ecofriendly and contributes to funding school programs, ad based on my comparison with other companies has smaller group capacities. No nature is guaranteed, but if you take a 10 am tour instead of a 9am, you have the opportunity to get sighting reports from other tours to help better guide your own boat.

the crew staffs were...
the crew staffs were amazing 👏 she really good with the kids and all the people in the boat, Our ferry was late (~20 minutes) but they communicated with us. and we were able to still arrive & go on the scheduled tour time.
We were able to see humpback whales🐋 and Harbour seals, and sea lions. they are really good group to work with and I will definitely recommend.

Great Tour Plus Photos are Included!
Great tour. We’re able to see plenty of humpbacks and orcas. Natural commentary was excellent and they even knew the orca families we were watching. Included hot chocolate was delicious - had three servings. Plus they take excellent photos that are included free of charge. This was a great value and will do again when in Victoria.

"A three hour tour..."
There are many options for Whale Watching. I was very happy to choose this tour. (value for money). All the staff from the front desk check in to the boat were very friendly and knowledgable. Took the morning run. Had great weather. Easy walking distance from downtown. Less than 15 minutes from the Empress. Sign at end of driveway on Kingston Street.

Incredible Experience
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Eagle Wing. Their sunset whale and wildlife watching experience for us was absolutely incredible. This was our last excursion of a 9 night Alaska cruise and it was a highlight of our trip. The employees were awesome and although no one can control what wildlife you see on your trip they really tried to ensure we got to see as much as possible. We got to see so much during our tour. Humpbacks, an Orca pod, sea lions, seals, an otter, and birds were all featured during our trip. Absolutely don’t hesitate to book a tour with Eagle Wing.
