    I have been on whale watching tours before. This trip with Eagle Wing far exceeded my expectations. Lilly and Tom, the guides had so much knowledge. Rob, the captain knew the best spots to visit. Many of the Whales the crew recognized and shared stories about their long history. Many of the encounters offered new and unexpected views. Completely extraordinary!!!! The boat itself was comfortable, with extra clothing and gear to accommodate all conditions. It had restrooms and more than enough seating for you to move inside or out at any moment to view the wildlife. I will absolutely return to this crew the next time I am in Victoria.

  • Wildlife tour on nature's premises

    Best way to connect with the ocean and learn about all the amazing marine wildlife. The guides truely loves and knows about the wildlife out there and cares about not getting too close - with them you can go whalewatching on nature's premises. Part of the ticketcost goes to marine wildlife protection and education - EagleWingTours were the firm starting that 'trend' ❤️ If you go whalewatching, always go with them! Bonus is, that they take photos that you get after the trip, it is included in the ticketprice, so you can fully focus on beeing present. Evan, Caio, Molly and Laura all did a greate job in keeping up the good mood on a cold but beautiful day - and we saw Humback wales, sea leons, elefant seals, bald eagles eating and a kingfischer! 😀

    We have always wanted to go for whale & wildlife cruise, and when we visited Victor last September, we were recommended by a friend to go with "Eagle Whale & Wildlife Watching Tours". We took her advice, booked and paid for 30 September afternoon cruise. We never regretted - it was fun filled with excitement from the start till we returned. We saw killer whales, baby killer whales, humpback whale, sea lions, otter and a black bear along the coastline. To top it up, we received free of charge the photos taken by the professional photographer of Eagle Whale & Wildlife Watching Tours. It was a very memorable cruise! We strongly recommend "Eagle Whale & Wildlife Watching Tours" if you wish to go for whale & wildlife cruise in Victoria.

    We had a great trip and saw Orcas, Humpbacks, a sea otter, seals, sea lions etc. - everything that we could have hoped for. The boat was very comfortable and our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. In short, everything that we could have hoped for. It was a perfect day on the water.

  • An unforgettable afternoon watching orcas and other wildlife

    An incredible experience! I admit that on the way out into the huge expanse of ocean, I was a little skeptical we'd actually see anything, however the team at Victoria Whale and Wildlife clearly have intel about the area to head to. We saw a family of orcas - what an awesome and moving sight to see this family out hunting. The team on the boat are so knowledgeable about each whale and their behaviour, what they don't know about whales and wildlife you could write on the back of a postage stamp. There was no rush to fit the trip in to a tight schedule - we spent a good deal of time observing the whales until they moved away, then headed to the lighthouse are and saw sea lions, seals, birds and a gorgeous sea otter. The team were brilliant, very approachable, clearly very passionate about all the wildlife in the area. They also sent us their photos from the trip which was greatly appreciated. This was an afternoon I'll never forget. If you are in Victoria and get chance to do this trip I highly recommend you go for it!
