Dangerous trip. We went 1st week of Jan on a rainy Sunday and the weather took a turn for the worse as we went much further to find the whales. Tyler did a good job of getting us out but this was a rough trip with lot of worried people. Once we got out of the boat we were in pain due to waves hitting us. This trip should have been cancelled. Many times it felt that we would sink or break our necks navigating out of those waters. We got lucky to escape without something really bad happening. I do recommend using the service but only when the weather is good. We did see a lot of whales and we liked Tyler

Our guide, Tyler did a great job handling the Zodiac and communicating with us while doing it. He was able to show us and tell us interesting facts about orcas, seals, and sea lions. He was funny and informative. The tour was easy to set up and they answered our many questions with a lot of patience. Highly recommend

Check-in was fast and painless. We were boarded efficiently and with good humour. Liam, Tyler and Brad were great hosts. Liam is a recent marine biologist graduate and so was able to add a unique and sympathetic perspective to the local whale-watching industry. Both he and Tyler peppered the tour with interesting facts about the local fauna and flora. Although he was captaining the boat, Brad was also great at shouting out to those inside, where the next sighting was likely to be. We saw lots of activity from humpback whales and it was helpful that Liam takes pictures on the tour to be shared with the group later. This meant we could watch these magnificent creatures with our own eyes rather than through a lens. We went out in blue sky, encountered fog on the trip but still had some spectacular sightings including a variety of seals and sea lions. We were looked after by a great team and would not hesitate to recommend this company and tour!

We had a fantastic whale watching trip with Orca Spirit! Emma & Ryan are very enthusiastic and knowledgeable which really added to the trip. We saw SO many whales - tales and even breaching! It was beautiful :) Highly recommend Orca Spirit - this was my second trip and I would choose them again next time I'm in Victoria.

The day was beautiful for so many ways. The weather, the city and most of all Bill-our captain, Ryan and Liam. Ryan is so knowledgeable about the whales. He has had so many interactions with them, that he understands their movements and actions. Great job by all of you!!

Best whale watching we have ever done! Saw Orcas, humpbacks, eagles, and other wildlife. Our Captain Mick was excellent.

An incredible trip. We spent two hours in the midst of multiple pods of whales, several breaching around the boat. Stellar sea lions up close and noisy on our way back to harbour. Great crew, Liam, Kristen and Bill, very educational, highly recommend.

What an awesome experience. The tour was filled with great information, and the crew did everything they could to help us see as much marine life as possible. We lucked out...Humpbacks galore :) The tour was safe and so much fun. We met people from so many places around the world. This was our second tour with this company, and saw orcas and humpbacks September 2023. Will be back again.

Fabulous experience today. Cold but amazing to see humpback, orcas, seals , sea otters. Plus various sea birds . Experienc was helped with knowledgeable staff - Liam and bella Thanks

Our whale watching trip was incredible! Our guides Briar and Liam were very knowledgeable. Seeing orcas in the wild has been a dream of mine for a long time and share the experience with my 13yr old daughter was so special. Added bonus of being able to download Briar’s photos for free after the trip.

Brilliant afternoon whale watching, dream come true experience. Booked at tourist information office in Victoria. All the crew are very knowledgeable about the whales and sea lions that we saw. Everyone has plenty of time to get plenty of pictures, as not high season plenty of space to move around. Would put it on must do list for anyone spending a few days on Vancouver Island

The zodiac was definitely the best way to see the whales and we were not disappointed. Liam was awesome very knowledgeable and fun he knew exactly where to go. We were able to take the best pictures and videos and could not have been closer. The whole staff were great and helpful. It was a dream come true experience. My wife and daughters all said there teeth were cold from smiling so much. Thank you.

Amazing trip, knowledgeably led by our skipper Jonny. We were privileged to get close to orcas and humpbacks in some beautiful natural interactions. The zodiac was huge fun too...

Brilliant boat trip and tour, despite the pouring rain for 3 hours !! Thoroughly enjoy the ride and Whale watching. Shane our tour Captain was excellent - friendly and with great knowledge of the wildlife. Shane made the trip really enjoyable and interesting. Thank you

Mick, our captain was great, he had a lot of interesting information to share and was able to show us a lot of wild life including sea otter, sea lions, seal, bald eagles and so many humpbacks!!! including a mother and calf! The seal lion flinging the octopus into the air before his meal was terrific! I have been on whale watching tours before but never by zodiac, the zodiac was my favourite by far, its a nimble way to get around quickly and feels great to be so close to the water! Thank you for a great afternoon!
