We got to meet Captain Ron from a friend who lives in Victoria, its was a very pleasant ride. Unlike most other whale watching companies this one was own and operated by the same guy who has only one boat. It made the whole 3h trip very private and confortable. We got to see some spot where bigger companies dont... More

We did our whale watching trip today with Captain Ron King. This was my second whale watching trip in Victoria and first one for my guests (teenagers). What I liked: 1. Intimate: A 24 footer, much smaller than those bigger boat. 2. Comfortable: We could walk around and sat very comfortably 3. Better viewing: not too many people around 4.... More

We booked a trip with Captain Ron instead of going through our cruise ship tours. Unfortuantly, we were the only ones there for the tour! Understandably, it was not economical for him to take only 2 people out. Captain Ron spent the time to find us another tour (with a smaller, owner/operator boat like his) and even had them pick...

We have not been to Victoria for sometime and we have never been to a whale watching tour. Like most tourists, we almost fell trap to the highly commercialized, highly advertized and gimmicky tours and there is a lot of them in Victoria. From speaking to the locals we were introduced to Sea King Adventures. We knew if the locals... More

This summer we went on a whalewatching trip with Capt. Ron and it was an unforgettable experience! Capt. Ron surely knows his orcas. Just by seeing a fin, he can tell you the life history of these great marine mammals. When we arrived in Victoria, we saw a lot of publicity for big whalewatch companies and were not sure which...

Recently booked with the Sea King, the experience was well worth the cost, the boat ride was amazing, I have gone on the Zodiac boats some of the other companies used and was soaked with water not to mention very uncomfortable, The Sea King is equippped with a washroom, comfortable seating, and an amazing guide, On our trip we encountered...

Whilst on a working holiday my girlfriend & I went whale watching twice with Captain Ron in 2007. The second time we took my girlfriend’s parents. Because of his small boat Ron sped about the seas showing us Seals, Sea lions, Bald Eagles and Humpback Whales. We even chased a cruise ship! If you’re thinking of whale watching in Victoria... More

Captain Ron runs the best Whale Watching tour in Victoria. Sure there are bigger companies, with bigger boats but they do not know the waters or the whales like Captain Ron King. He takes you out to see the whales and that IS what you see. He has a smaller boat for a more intimate adventure but also one where... More
