From the office to the boat, the staff at Spring Tide made my whale watching excursion super easy, and extremely enjoyable. After signing up, I was given a time to come back to the office, at which point we promptly suited up and went right out on the water. Efficient. Our driver and guide, Ryan, was extremely knowledgeable about the... more

I had heard great things about Springtide from locals and I decided to go with my friend on a zodiak excursion. I was greeted in the office immediately upon arrival with friendly and extremely knowledgeable staff. This definitely got us excited about our upcoming experience with Springtide! The office staff walked us down to the zodiak where we were greeted... more

I was a little concerned before going out... more

From the start of the tour all the way to the end the tour was incredible. From the excellent vessels to the extremely knowledgeable boat staff the whole experience was top notch. more

I'll start by saying that i totally disagree with the last two negative reviews. I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful and extremely knowledgeable. The whole thing was, i can honestly say, a once in a lifetime experience. I understand that it must be frustrating to not see too much wildlife, but people have to understand that... more

I've done other whale-watching trips, from Anacortes, in the past, so I thought I knew what to expect. I thought wrong. - Ten minutes into the trip, they announced that the whales were "a little further out than usual" and would it be OK if we came back 15 minutes late?

After reading great reviews of this company on Trip Advisor, my husband and I decide to use them for a whale watching excursion while visiting Victoria on a cruise.
