An unforgettable family memory for our kids - Our entire family loved it. The crew was very fun and engaging and the 4ever wild boat was so comfortable. We loved seeing seals, sea lions, the lighthouse, and learning about the Salish Sea. Getting to sit up on the captain's deck was amazing. Seeing the humpback whale and watching it up close was something we will never forget. Thank you to all the crew especially Carol and Caio who went above and beyond to make sure we all had fun, learned something and were comfortable the whole time. Fantastic ability to engage with little kids. This boat was extremely comfortable, warm and big enough to roam around in. Our 4 young children were all comfortable the entire time.

Amazing experience, 100% recommend - We had a fabulous 4hr+ trip as a family (2 adults, 2 young teens).
An unforgettable day watching 13 orcas all meet up. Just in awe and spent some time just putting the camera down and taking it all in. We also saw bald eagles, sea lions, deer and goats. Lovely trip on a catamaran, lots of indoor seating and plenty of space up on deck for viewing. Wrap up warm, they’re not kidding when they say it can get cold!!
Thank you Tom, Sam, Megan and the rest of the crew. We had an amazing time with you and really enjoyed to all the info you shared with us, you really know a lot!!

Excellent experience! - We went out on March 29 in the afternoon. Was a beautiful day with a friendly professional crew. Couldn’t have imagined a better experience. Saw a plethora of wildlife including whales, sea lions, seals, eagles and some exotic wildlife on “Oakley island”. If you’re considering a whale watching tour in the Victoria are you need to go with Eagle Wing!

Amazing Afternoon on the Water. - We left Victoria on March 17th in the afternoon and headed Northeast, towards SaltSpring Islands. I thought we were going the wrong way, as a couple of days before we were in Ucluelet, and we’re watching grey whales from the shore. We arrived at Beaver Point, and lo and behold, Killer Whales. Captain Pete found us a Orca pod. This was what I was waiting for, and they were awesome to watch. Beautiful creatures and I went away completely satisfied with my experience. The crew of Carol Sam, Selena, and Caio were great, with lots of information and always checking on all the passengers. I would highly recommend Eagle Wing Tours to anyone looking to see the beautiful wildlife the inhabits the West Coast.

Best whale watching ever!! - It was amazing!! We saw whales very soon after leaving the harbor, we then continued north for an amazing tour with lots more whales. The scenery is spectacular we saw so much wildlife, it was unbelievable . The staff was so knowledgeable and passionate about their jobs! I’ve been on many whale watching trips, this was the best by far. We are already planning our trip back for next year !

Fantastic tour - This was for us three the most fantastic tour, not only that what we understood we where lucky to see so many whales. The bonus was that big one that just passed the vessel like 2 meters away, fantastic 👍
Than you crew for all excellent info. You where just 100%.
If someone is coming from Sweden as we are we will 100 % go whale watching with you.

Great Experience - This was a whale watching tour on a fair sized boat which had inside seating. It was cool and raining so it great to sit inside. Not only were we able to see whales but went around an island with sheep, deer and some huge sea lions. What impressed me most was Selena and Megan who not only knew a lot about different whales but were also able to name specific whales and how old one was that was born in 1978 . We also saw a river otter coming into the harbor. I would highly recommend Eagle Wing
