Amazing, one of a kind experience. We were fortunate enough to see orcas and humpbacks up close and personal. The crew were amazing and very knowledgeable, special mention to Reid (who knew absolutely everything about whales) and Michael (who captured the most amazing photos). Captain Richard and first mate Sandy amazing crew. Long lasting memories and definitely a must do in Victoria
