Loved the knowledgeable and friendly staff! It was a wonderful experience, despite the cold winds! The Captain drove farther North and we were able to see 9 orcas!! It was a great experience. Highly recommend!

Dress warmly for these whale watching adventures as it can get a little chilly on the upper deck. Not to worry though, they have gloves, hats and blankets to keep you warm. They found us 6 or 7 visible whales, males, female and calves for us to marvel over. The sea lions, deer and big horn sheep were a major plus.

Thank you so much for your 5-star review Darcy. We really appreciate you taking the time to do so! It can certainly get very chilly on the water so we like to advise guests to wrap up warm :) It sounds like you had an awesome adventure encountering wildlife. How lovely that you caught a glimpse of the calves too!
We can't wait for you to join us on another tour the next time you are in Vancouver, Victoria or Telegraph Cove!

My wife and I wanted to show our 2 sons (7 & 9 yrs old) the whale watching experience as the two of us went many years ago before marriage. Our captain Jasper was very knowledgeable, we all had a blast!

We had a great time out on the zodiac, the driver was very knowledgeable and we got to see all types of wildlife. We saw transient orca whales, seals, and bald eagles.
I would recommend this tour. It was a lot of fun.

Such a waste of time in really cold weather. We spent almost 4 hours waiting for nothing, and all we got to see was sea lions.

Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are very sorry that you were not successful in seeing whales that day. Every tour is unpredictable and different in terms of what can be spotted. Just like whale watching anywhere in this region, or the world, sometimes we aren't lucky enough to see whales.
We do stand by our whale sighting guarantee and encourage our guests to join us on another tour in future at no cost, in the instance that no whales have been sighted. The experience of our guests is really important to us so please do contact us to arrange another booking. We would be happy to help!

I would say this tour was the highlight during my stay in Victoria. I am speechless,the atmosphere is second to none. A perfect sunny day and the ocean was so tranquil. The whales were not far from us, such a magical experience. This is a must-see attraction in Victoria.
