Orca Whale Watching Victoria, BC

Really nice tour. We were able to see 2 pods of Biggs Killer whales, steller sea lions, sea otter, and harbour seals. Michael was super knowledgeable and friendly. The Orcas were communicating with each other, so the submerged a microphone for us to hear them. They gave us coffee, tea and hot chocolate. I did not have them 5 stars, as it was a bit difficult to hear the naturalists as they explain. I would recommend them a Microphone. The photos that they send you afterwards are superb. So, don’t worry about taking photos. Truly enjoy the view with your own eyes and not thru the camera screen. You won’t regret it.

Enthusiastic guides and great additions to the wonder of seeing marine life in a natural habitat! Especially felt cared for by the crew Connor, Megan and Michael! And safe with the leadership of Richard and Sandy!

We had a whale of a time! Pun fully intended. The crew were incredible (thanks again Reid, Michael, Megan and Janae) and we got incredibly lucky to spot humpback whales. Wouldn’t hesitate to go again with the hope we could see Orcas :) Highly recommend this. Wrap up warm. My wife and I were the only ones in giant puffer jackets and I was really glad for it, out on the bow is where you see most so you want to be warm!
