What are people saying about Victoria

Killer Whales

Saw multiple Orca pods, a humpback whale, sea lions, and a rare bird. Our crew, Richard, Drew, Rhiannon, and Lauren were great. Lauren and Rhiannon were very knowledgeable about the wildlife and made sure we all experienced it while they educated us. It was a beautiful day on the water!

Amazing

Absolutely spectacular. We saw orcas on the hunt, humpback whales breaching, a ton of sea lions and even a bit of sunshine. My advice, however, is to leave the phone camera - no matter how good it is advertised - at home and invest and invest in a quality camera and lens. Otherwise, a brilliant experience and value for money

Victoria Whale and Wildlife Cruise

Professional, with knowledgable crew

This is a very professional, caring organisation who know their stuff and provide plenty of crew! We did the part covered boat tour in the morning which worked for us as it was calmer in the morning and the cover was welcome as it was cold. We saw loads of humpback whales (the boat kept a very good distance but they came up to us to have a look anyway!!), and the captain stopped for a sea otter on the way back, even though we had been out longer already. Professional photos are going to be sent to us later which is a lovely surprise. Fisherman’s wharf is a great place to stop for lunch after your trip.

Definitely recommend this...

Definitely recommend this experience. Sarah, our captain and guide was great and highly knowledgeable in marine life. The boat is fast and a fun ride. The wet suit they provide is great and keeps you warm and dry. We saw around 5 killer whales and two humpback whales up close. If you can tolerate a cold breeze and some sea water splashing on you, this will be the best whale watching excursion you will do.

Best Whale Watching Boat in Victoria

This was by far the very best Whale Watching trip we have ever been on. We have gone on tours in Oregon & Hawaii, but never saw the amount of whales and different types, plus all the sea lions! they were huge. The crew are very knowledable and mwke the trip quite interesting. Plus they share their photos with you at no extra charge. I wouldn't go with anyone else.

Private Guided Rainforest Hike in Victoria

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.
