Humpback Whale Watching Tour - What an incredible experience! We did the Zodiac boat tour with Orca Spirit in early July, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide, Ryan, was friendly, engaging, and happy to answer everyone's questions. His passion and knowledge really made the tour special. He was extremely knowledgeable about the whales, marine wildlife, and Vancouver Island. It was clear he knew exactly where to go to give us the best chance of seeing whales. We chose the 11:00 a.m. tour, and I think that's the perfect time. The earlier tours helped identify where the whales were, so by 11:00, Ryan knew exactly where to take us. We saw numerous humpback whales and were able to see them up close. Ryan also shared fascinating information about the whales, including one nicknamed "Poptart," which made the experience even more memorable. If you're visiting Victoria or Vancouver Island, I highly recommend Orca Spirit's Zodiac whale watching tour. It was an unforgettable adventure, and we'd book with Ryan again in a heartbeat!

Great Day Whale Watching - Great day out looking for whales and sea life. The crew was great, knowledgeable and patient. Answered everyone's questions, were in constant communication with other boats to see what other sighting were nearby so that our boat could head that way. Wonderful experience. Would highly recommend. I was traveling solo and didn't feel 'alone'.

AMAZING Private Tour - Amanda was the most AMAZING guide for our trip. She went above and beyond for our group, making sure we got to see everything we could. We were lucky enough to see many humpbacks, including a breech very close to us, and some orcas. She was fun, attentive, and skilled. We couldn’t imagine having a better time- amazing trip!

Great tour - Very bumpy boat ride and cold. The company supplies you with great warm outfits, headwear and gloves. But worth it when you see the orcas. Tour guide was great and saw eagle and sea lions. Would do it again.

A whale of a time - Amazing trip! Edward was our captain alongside Marissa, and they were the best! They knew exactly where to be in the best spots to see the whales! Super funny, extremely knowledgeable, and lovers of the ocean! Ed and Marissa's passion for the job and the whales I think really made the experience great for me. The boat ride was fun and super enjoyable! Definitely an experience of a lifetime and recommend anyone to go on this trip with those two.

A Thrill of a Lifetime ! - Jordan was an excellent captain and was very informative to the whole group. We got very lucky and watched one whale do a hour long show with about 40 breaches for the group. Nothing more to say than it was FANTASTIC !!
