  Well, Whale Watching is a bit hit and miss isn’t it? You never know if you’re going to see anything. Luckily for us we did see plenty. We saw no breaching whales , but probably three or four separate groups of whales all swimming together. All coming out of the water and just swimming quietly. We did see one time when the whales did the bubble thing and then jumped up a little bit to get the fish.. and one Whale actually came to the back of the boat and nudged the back of the boat with all of us looking down on top of it. And I think we saw a walrus or a very very large seal asleep on some small island on the way back.. lots of sea birds.. The boat was comfortable enough and yes, definitely is on the older side but the seawater will always make things look worse as the ship age. We were provided with tea and coffee and the staff on board were phenomenal they were so friendly and happy and always on the lookout for whales. And I love the fact that they shared their photos to our email accounts for later perusing..

• 5Great experience

  We had an exciting trip out with Liam, Jake and Gordon. The check in was so easy with the lovely staff in the shop, then onto the boat. We sat up on top deck for the start of the ride which was great fun as we were speeding along. Liam and Jake kept us informed all the time of what was happening and we quite quickly found some Humpback whales. It was great not having to worry about photos as Liam was taking lots that he later shared with us. Great touch. Both Liam and Jake were full of interesting facts about the wildlife around the area and answered any questions. We then went on to see Seals, Sea Lions and the best part Orcas! Hot drinks were supplied throughout the trip and snacks were available to buy. It was a fantastic afternoon with lots of memories and great photos. Would highly recommend.

• 5Fantastic

  An excellent experience with loads to see. Jake and Liam were a great double act and extremely informative. We were well looked after and saw loads of Whales whilst they were feeding as well as sea lions and birdlife. The boat captain did a great job keeping us well positioned to view all the beautiful creatures around us. Thank you

• 5A great experience

  We had a great experience, the guides and captain was excellent. During the trip we managed to see a number of humpback whales and our guides explained in detail the behaviour we were watching. A really nice touch is that the crew take photos which they share, so you don’t have to !

About Victoria

Victoria, capital of British Columbia, is a harbour city at the southern tip of Vancouver Island, known for gardens, old stone buildings and afternoon tea.

The Inner Harbour is the centre of Victoria, ringed by the copper-domed Parliament Buildings, the Royal BC Museum and a château-style hotel, with floatplanes landing on the water and street performers along the causeway. Behind it, narrow lanes lead to Chinatown, the oldest in Canada, and to Bastion Square. Craigdarroch Castle, a Victorian mansion on a hill, has stained glass and carved woodwork, and Beacon Hill Park runs down to bluffs above the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
