What are people saying about Victoria

Impeccable Views

As a surprise and rather spur of the moment purchase, I got tickets during a trip to Victoria BC for my boyfriend's birthday, after we got off the Clipper. Neither of us had been in a smaller plane before and the photos looked really gorgeous online. It was extremely smooth buying the tickets, arriving and being checked in, and getting into the plane itself. Although both of us are slender, I'm a little curvy, the seats were extremely small. The seat belt and the floating device were almost painfully tight to put on, and the seat itself was quite tiny. Of course, we fully anticipated this, but if you're a female presenting person with full hips, know it may be a little uncomfortable. The plane was also prepared with ear plugs, should the noise level get too high. The views were absolutely impeccable and stunning. Would highly recommend if you have a little spending money to take the time and do the tour! Thank you to the pilot and staff for making an amazing experience for us.

Wonderful half day cruise to see whales!

Boat ride was comfortable and scenic. Love that they take pictures for you and send them to you for free later so you can focus on just "being in the moment" to observe the whales and not worry about taking pictures. Their pictures are 1000 times better than what I would capture with my phone anyway! We had a great day and saw a pod of killer whales and a lone humpback whale. Crew was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Book this tour!

This tour was really great, and I would highly recommend. The guides were very knowledgeable about not only the whales that we saw but also the other wildlife that we encountered. They also set expectations at the beginning of the tour which was helpful for those who may not be familiar with the variability of wildlife tours and seeing the animals. It was fun to talk to the different guides around the boat and to hear about their personal experiences with the animals. We were so lucky to have some incredible sightings of three orcas! The boat was great with a balance of outdoor and indoor seating, hats/gloves/blankets, and some small snacks for purchase. The two bathrooms were very clean and nice to have on the four hour tour. I would highly recommend this company when whale watching in Victoria!

I want to see Orcas.... Check!!

Great experience!! My goal was to see Orcas, we accomplished that within the first 45 minutes of the tour. We were able to follow a pod of 5 orcas for about 20 minutes. Our naturalist on board was Liam, he cracked me up. He answered all of our questions, no matter how dumb, and gave us really great information about all the different types of animals and fish we may see. We also saw a humpback whale, harbor seals with a baby, and an elephant seal. Once we saw the orcas, to me, everything else was gravy. They also provide you with professional pictures taken by their staff on your tour at no additional charge!!!! This is great customer service, it let us focus on seeing things with our eyes instead of through a stupid cell phone camera.

Enjoyable hike

Beautiful walk, not difficult. Our guide, Alan, was informative about the trees, history of the area and its indigenous people and how they used the bark of the trees. He was incredibly helpful to me, navigating parts of the path more difficult for me ( mobility issues), lending a hand and arm. He was a very nice man.
