5.00This was a truly wonderful experience, we were visiting from Edmonton and my first time visiting the island and this was one of the highlights of our trip. We were lucky to see a number of Humpback Whales, Seals, Sea Lions. All of the crew were so welcoming, knowledgeable and awesome. Shout out to Derek, Sam, Jo, Clint & Captain Rod for how informative and engaging they made the trip. Such a memorable experience and would love to come back and sail with Eagle Wing again (and cross my fingers for seeing Orca's next time).
Beautiful day, saw...

5.00Beautiful day, saw multiple whales and Orca. Crew was knowledgeable and very helpful. Switched from covered boat to open one, a smart decision with the great weather! An exciting ride in addition to the whale sightings.
Great Adventure
