5.00Exceptional experience. We saw orca, sea otters, humpback whales, and sea lions. The crew provide fun and helpful information and are fun and helpful. Not that this is guaranteed, but we saw 2 humpback whales breaching 30-40 times! This was a once in a lifetime experience!! Well done Eagle Wing!
A great trip!

5.00What an amazing experience! Once in a lifetime! We saw 40 orcas swimming, playing, even leaping! The guides were so nice and so knowledgeable -- they even recognized the individual orca by their markings. Then we came across 5 humpback whales on the way home. They gave us extra time (extended the tour) to fully enjoy them. (They asked earlier if anyone had time pressures, so they already knew it was ok with everyone to stay longer.)
