Incredible experience with an amazing company - This morning I got a very cool email - a reminder of the tour we went on with downloadable ‘best of the tour’ photos (these are the ones attached to the review). I was immediately taken back to our day at sea and everything I learned! This company is awesome. I was so impressed with the knowledge and the experience, especially the way they show beautiful respect to both resident whales and the indigenous community. This company is all about sharing the love of nature while showing it the necessary love via conservation efforts. We were thrilled with our experience and will book again when back in the area!

Wildlife in action! - This was the best whale watching experience I’ve ever had. The crew was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. The company cares about its customers and is companionate to all wildlife. Definitely worth the time and money!

Amazing whale watching tour - A wonderful morning watching a mother and calf humpback whale - an incredible never to be forgotten experience. Also saw bald eagles, black oystercatchers, pigeon guillemots, rhinoceros auklets harbour seals and a sea lion. The crew were knowledgable, friendly and approachable. Especial thanks to Tom and Lilli.

A beautiful boat tour with incredible crew - What a stunning way to spend the morning. Heading out in beautiful sunshine made this trip even more special. We sat up front and had a great time chatting to Trev (captain) and Lili (naturalist) throughout the trip. We started with slightly soggy start responding to a yacht’s mayday call - both crew were calm and exceptionally well prepared. Luckily the authorities arrived 30 seconds before us and we could continue with our morning (knowing the “casualty” was alive and well. We enjoyed pootling around the smaller islands and inlets spotting seals, eagles, various wild birds and sea lions. The local network of whale spotting experts is exceptional. They communicate incredibly with each other to give everyone out on the water the best chance of spotting whales. I’ve always been reticent about wildlife tours - always concerned we may upset the animals with our presence. There was no need to worry here. Trev stayed at a perfect distance - close enough to see, but far enough that the whales appeared entirely unbothered. Both Trev and Lili’s enthusiasm and knowledge shone through. I’ve never been on a tour with people who clearly care so much about the environment they explore. I hope Lili and the team continue to receive funding and support for her educational program. We only experienced a couple of hours of the knowledge these guys have, but there’s no doubt that they will continue to influence both tourists and local communities into the best care of the ocean possible.

A Whale of a Great Time - The guides and captain were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and safe. We were able to enjoy 6-8 humpbacks playing around our boats for nearly an hour. It was phenomenal

Whale and Wildlife Experience in Victoria - The experience was phenomenal. I can’t explain how amazed and enjoyed my husband and I to see the multiple whales several time. Though we both got a bit sea sick due to current, Lily was such a lovely lady to assist and make sure we are okay throughout the tour. Both the captain and Lily were really engaging during the tour. It’s a must to book a tour with them!!! Your Victoria trip wouldn’t be complete without it.

Best Whale Watching Experience in Victoria - I've been taking Eagle Wing tours for the last 17 years and they never disappoint. I highly recommend the open boat if possible since it can go farther, faster and cover more ground in the allotted time. On our most recent visit, we had our first humpback whale encounter and got to see one do a rare spy-hop close to the boat. The staff and crew are always friendly, experienced and accommodating. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!

Girls' Trip Whale Watching - We were on a girls' trip. This was a very fun day on the ocean for us. The presenters were quite knowledgeable and very personable. We saw bald eagles, California sea lions, steller sea lions, harbour seals, a sea otter, humpback whales, and biggs killer whales. I would highly recommend this company.
