Victoria whale-watching
We recommend Eagle Wing Tours who have a guarantee: if you do not see orcas you can go out again free. On their whale-watching tours you are accompanied by an experienced marine naturalist/biologist. Their boats are deep-hulled and longer for a smoother ride with technologically advanced, environmentally friendly engines. Importantly, the boats are faster than the usual zodiacs so they can reach orca pods which may be distant. We have been on both their boats: what an impressive fast and smooth ride! They have an onboard washroom, hydrophones to hear the whales, and provide complimentary hot chocolate and free use of waterproof floatation clothing, sunglasses, sunscreen, hats, binoculars, blankets. They operate from Fisherman's Wharf, a fascinating place to stroll and take lunch.
NOTE: we do not recommend advance booking before you get to Victoria otherwise you might go out in poor sea or weather conditions. Instead, when you are with us, we can check on these and on recent sitings and help you select a good time.
The package also includes:
- A bottle of fine sparkling wine or sparkling apple juice - your choice,
- A welcome basket of local gourmet chocolates and fresh fruit,
- Fresh flowers.
