Whales are perhaps the most fascinating creatures on earth, but unfortunately we don't have too many opportunities to get up close to these enormous aquatic animals. That is, unless you take a whale-watching cruise from Victoria, Vancouver Island!  ...

Although the weather didn't totally cooperate, we had a very enjoyable day. The sun was still shining when we arrived in Victoria but we lost that on the way to the whales. Thankfully the whales were coming back in from their days in the ocean to feed and were back in the San Juan Islands. We were lucky enough to see a couple of nice spy hops while they were on their way through. There is quite a bit of time after you return from your whale watch before you board the plane (thankfully the rain stopped before we got into harbor) so we had lunch and took in the show at the IMax.

Loved this trip. Everything worked out perfectly. Definitely go for the Open Boat.....it's a RIB. You have to get suited up as you might get wet but it definitely adds to the trip. We were also so lucky and saw around 30 killer whales.

The tour was outstanding! I learned a great deal of information from the on-board biologist. We found a pod of five orcas and followed them for almost an hour. I look forward to repeating the tour on our next visit to Victoria.

We had a great time. Fiona was very informative about the whales and overall information of the area. We saw a number
of orca whales, as well as seals. Recommend it to all.

Disappointed, saw no whales. Other companies guaranteed sightings of their money back.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience despite not seeing any whales. Seaplane part afforded wonderful views of area and the covered boat was a definite advantage as the sea had a decent swell. We were perfectly dry though! Thank you for a memorable day!

This was fab, yacht was just right for the middle and younger age groups. Lucky to see whales. Crew very knowledgable on wild life we came across and captain of ship in constant radio contact with other ships around to guide all to see orca. Captain very respectful to all animals we came across, seals, whales, birds, didn't encroach or trap the wild life, allowed easy escape routes if they wished to do so. Crew had marine degrees and vast knowledge, knew all about orca we came across. They hold recognition sheets on dorsal fins so knew who they were and from which group they belonged

A very well organised trip with knowledgeable and helpful crew. We were lucky that the weather was fantastic and we saw orcas, seals, herons, etc, It would have been a 5 star trip if the whales had been a bit more accommodating and more visible, but that is the chance you take.
