5.00We had the best time at our tour! Great time of the day to go whale watching on a summer day! The crew members were awesome! Trev, Lili, Sarah and Jennifer were super nice, very knowledgeable and they all made sure we had the best experience with the most comfort. We were able to spot a family of killer whales, a humpback whale, sea lion, seals and a bald eagle. We had a great time and recommend this tour completely.

5.00Had Brett and Tom as our captain & naturalist respectively. They were both really knowledgeable about the animals and also showed us some of the conservation work. Terrific sunset tour, and found whales really quickly. We saw two different groups of whales, and the captain moved the ship gently around so we had the best angle as they came out of the water. They took us along the coast and we also got to check out all the harbour seals and lions and returned with the sun setting over the mountains at our backs. We booked the open top boat and would recommend it. The experience was even better than we thought it would be and was a highlight of our trip to victoria.
