I went whale watching before with Sea King Adventures. I wrote a review on the killer whales. This time we had the chance to see Dolls porpoises I had never even heard of them before. A school of them went bow riding playfully with Ron King's boat. I was able to get video footage of a pod of killer whales,... More

Captain Ron has my highest recommendation for Whale Watching. He is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and passionate about what he does. Having been a commercial fisherman, growing up on the West Coast all his life with his father who is also an experienced fisherman, he is the best Guy to go with here in Victoria when it comes to Whale Watching....

Captain Ron was great!! The whales were everywhere. Very pleasant and full of information. A true fisherman that loves what he does. Felt warm and safe on the ocean. I was glad I chose this adventure!!

If you are in Victoria and want to go whale watching go with Captain Ron and Sea King Adventures. It is a family owned and operated business.This is a small boat and it feels like you are on a private tour (this is what you want to go whale watching)! You are able to move around and it does have... More

Highly recommended and better value than most other attractions . We were a family group of two couples and one six year old. Liked the idea of going with a small family business and were rewarded with the ride of our lives and views of several whales and a brilliant seal colony. None of the whales breached or dove spectacularly,... More

I have been out with Captain Ron five times. Personable, friendly "mom and pop" shop that goes the extra mile - either in actual mileage, time spent on site, or taking the time to show other wildlife in the area. Vessel is comfortable with room to move around.

I was taken out by my best friends for a day of whale watching in Victoria. Seaking tours was the greatest time, Captain Ron took us out and got us close to 2 pods of orca's safely for both the whales and the small group in the boat. Ron is quite knowlegable about the sealife and is safety orientated.I had... More

We have just returned from our 2nd whale watching trip with Sea King Adventures. Last summer we saw three humpback whales and a pod of the resident orcas. FANTASTIC! Captain Ron King (owner/operator) was so informative and his experience/knowledge and genuine love of the ocean gave us the best whale watching trip we could have ever expected. We returned to...

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
