I was in Victoria on my own for a weekend and decided to do a whale watching tour from Victoria. There are quite a few companies to choose from, and roughly all the same price. I chose to go with EagleWing as it had good reviews and they departed close to where I was staying. I chose an evening departure... More

Versus other tours I've gone on, the guides at Eagle Wing were much more knowledgeable and able to answer our questions, and we learned a lot! We had a dinner reservation and needed to go back, but I think our guide would have stayed with those whales for hours even though our time was up. This company is serious about... More

My husband and I went on the afternoon whale watching tour on the 12 person boat. We were just minutes out of the harbour and saw about 5 female migrant orcas. Followed them around for a bit and then got the chance of a lifetime to see them capture a porpoise. They tossed the porpoise in the air, jumped on... More

Heard from people at my hotel about this tour-operator that Eagle wing guarantees to see whales and has the fastest boat on the waters. I wasn't expecting to see many whales in October, as most have already migrated south, but I was pleased that we saw two humpbacks and a couple of transient killer whales. Awesome! The staff was really... More

I loved this whale watching company even though I haven't tried other companies. A captain is very knowledgeble and a boat is very comfortble. The other thing I should tell you is the meeting spot is located on the Fisherman's Wharf where there are many restaurants and house boatings. You can enjoy whole day there after and after the whale... More

Bret, our captain, knows so much to tell about the area and the wildlife. That was so interesting. And we have seen so many killer whales. It was really amazing. You should book your whale watch trip with these guys, instead of with the big organisations. This trip is really worth your money More

We had a great time! We were able to see bald eagles, killer whales, and humpback whales! The guides were very knowledgeable and very friendly. We really enjoyed our time with them. More

Everything was top notch. So impressed with the captain, Chris Mellet's knowledge., sense of humour,, attention to detail and timing. While whales are not cats, predicting and 'rounding up ' the whale sightings was uncanny. His knowledge of the territory, the whales and his relationships with others on the water all contributed to a first class experience. More

Wow...what a trip! This was an exciting trip with enthusiastic guides, a smooth riding boat, and over 25 whales sighted. The trip was extended over an hour when we encountered three pods of whales, Pods J, K, L. Thanks for the extra time, information, and a perfect afternoon. We would definitely do this trip again with Eagle Wing. More

These guys said there were Orcas and were there ever! It was a marvelous time seeing about 150 whales. Just wonderful and well worth it. If you don't see whales you can go back any time for a free trip. Wish we had gone with these guys first instead of the rip off trip we did before. More
