First time Whale Watching for Orca whales, awesome experience. The whales were on the move that day so it took some time to catch up, but when we did it was amazing. Great stories, interesting facts and driving by our guide made this trip a great memory. I would recommend it to anyone. Enjoy

Amazing is a great way to describe seeing whales for the first time and we are so glad you were able to have that experience. At Eagle Wing we take great pride in the fact that we get to this every day and having the opportunity to share our feelings for these amazing animals is something we feel so good... More

We did a tour with Jeff in July 2012. Very knowledgeable. The orcas were very far from Victoria but we went out about 80 km but so worth it. We saw about 45 orcas from J & L pod. Only 2 tour boats there. The whales were very active. Jeff could recognise all the whales. From Victoria, we were the... More

I was on the April 17, 2013 Wildlife tour. Wasn't expecting to see whales, but Jeff the captain heard of three closer to Vancouver. Off we went, and it was so exciting! We were the only boat from Victoria; most were from the US or Vancouver as this was pretty far from home port. On the way back we stopped... More

The staff/crew were all fabulous - when we booked, picking us up from our hotel, getting us ready and rugged up (including all the gear in kids sizes), and especially during the tour. We had prepared ourselves for not seeing killer whales since it wasn't the best time of year, and we weren't tooooo disappointed when we were told there... More

Thank you VERY much for your fantastic review.

Last week my best friend and I took a wildlife excursion tour through the San Juan Islands, it was a 72 mile round-trip and we saw so much wildlife including Dall's porpoise, sea lions, harbor seals, otters, bald eagles, rams and an array of coastal birds (all wildlife was very close)! It was well worth the rate we paid...our tour... More

My son and I were in Victoria for part of our March Break. We had hoped that a vessel would be available for a nature tour. I am so glad we called Eagle Wing Tours!

I chose this activity based on the reviews- they did not disappoint! Professional, prepared, friendly. The speedboats were the way to go, hands down. I was afraid of getting seasick, but i was ok. We chose the smaller boat, and I didn't get sick. Saw the J Pod of orcas, and it was exhilarating. Worth the money, for sure. Highly... More
