Brilliant whale watching trip - Absolutely amazing trip to see the humpbacks and wildlife. Saw so many humpbacks, (was not expected to see more than a couple), seals, bald headed eagles etc. The captain and crew were wonderful, very informative with their knowledge and would highly recommend doing this trip…wrap up warm!

An amazing day! - Amazing whale watching experience! We got lucky and picked the perfect day, as far as weather goes. The crew, Katie and Molly, were very knowledgeable and hospitable. We saw both humpback whales and killer whales on our trip. They can’t really guarantee that though. Overall, a wonderful trip. We will definitely do this one again.

Wonderful! - The harbor was amazing! The crew made sure that everyone was comfortable and happy! We saw a bunch of different whales/marine life and even stayed a little longer so that we could watch some Orcas hunting! The staff was extremely knowledgeable and even knew which whale we were looking at with their experience! I am planning on doing this again next year when I come back to Victoria!

A great day whale watching from Victoria, BC - I loved being able to talk to the two naturalists on board. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. The boat was comfortable and the crew very helpful. They brought us hot chocolate to drink. We had a great day on the water and saw lots of whales and seals. It was a wonderful day.
