Review of Victoria’s SpringTide whale watch tour, with orcas, humpbacks, marine naturalists, boat comfort, pricing, and practical tips.

“We had an amazing experience on board the Springtide, watching humpback whales jump and dive. What a spectacular sight!! Katie was our extremely knowledgeable guide. Not only did she know and understand the individual whales, but she also provided history and information on the critical role of whales in the oceans and the important role humans have in preserving their habitat. I wish every person could see these magnificent animals in their natural habitat. Thank you Katie and Jasper (our Captain).”

Review of Victoria’s 4-hour whale watching cruise, with heated cabins, expert guides, free wildlife photos, orca sightings, and practical tips.

“It was an incredible experience. We had 2 humpbacks (female with calf) swimming around our boat for about an hour. I saw them not once, or twice, I saw them multiple times. It was awesome. An experience of a lifetime. That said, we were told that doesn't happen very often. In fact rarely. We were very lucky. The crew was amazing. All of them very nice and competent. Algebra, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable and extremely funny. I would definitely recommend this tour.”

“We absolutely loved this tour. Grateful to see both Orcas and Humpbacks. 🖤✨ Our guides Morgan and Katie were incredible! Jasper, our Captain, was fabulous. The only thing I could comment on would be it was sometimes hard to hear everything that was being said in the back of the boat. ( without thw mic). Five stars!!!!!!”

Review of Victoria’s 3-hour whale tour, with small boats, flexible routes, wildlife sightings, practical tips, value, and booking advice.

“Gordon and Sam were incredible. Great team chemistry that added some sassy humor. LOVED the dedication by them to make sure we saw multiple whales. The teamwork with other agencies were appreciated so all travelers knew where some live action in the water was at all times. We were hoping for an orca sighting which is hard to predict, but they delivered and even took extra time to make sure we got enough great views and still took us to the rocks for the seals/sea lions. 10/10 for dedication!! Highly recommend this tour on the 12 passenger boat!”
