    Thought this would just be a shot in the dark, but ended up seeing two separate Orca pods. I would suggest using whale watching in Victoria over Juneau if you are on a cruise. As you will see plenty of Humpbacks from your ship. In Victoria it seems the ability to see orca is greater.

  • A super fun experience

    It is a really amazing experience which I advise all to partake in when visiting victoria. The staff are are amazing and take good care of all the tourists, they make you feel comfortable and ease any worries you may have travelling jnti the ocean. One point to make is there are no guarantees of seeing any species of Wales, We did see a few orcas but it was a distance away from our boat, me and my wife had a 3 year old and a 6 year old, 3 year old slept all the way through the 3 hr journey and our 6 year old took pictures for her holiday book, all in all a beautiful experience, give it a go.

  • Orca Breach!

    We saw an Orca breach! At like 50-75 yards away in full sunlight. What an amazing experience. Ian, Aly, Marty, and Heather did an amazing job finding and explaining the wildlife to us.
