FAQs
What is Eagle Wing Whale & Wildlife Watching Tours?
Our marine-based guided expeditions explore the Salish Sea in search of whales and other marine wildlife. Located in Victoria on southern Vancouver Island, BC, we’re a locally owned and family-operated company offering an exclusive, educational, eco-friendly experience for the discerning traveller. We offer you the chance to witness some of nature’s most majestic and awe-inspiring creatures in one of the most impressive settings on Earth. A treasure trove of diverse marine wildlife awaits you!
Where is Eagle Wing Whale & Wildlife Watching Tours located?
We’re located in one of the most beautiful places on Earth—Victoria! Our floating office is located at historic Fisherman’s Wharf. Look for the colourful mural of whales and wildlife wrapped around our floating building! We’re close to the entrance ramp to the wharf, just take a right at the bottom by Barb’s Fish & Chips. We’re on the other side of Smoke & Anchor, across from Jackson’s Ice Cream. There are several other great eateries on the wharf too. Don’t worry, whale watching builds a healthy appetite! Historic Fisherman’s Wharf is located near the entrance to Victoria’s Inner Harbour at 12 Erie Street, Pier #2.
What should I bring or wear for the tour?
In short, dress warmly! Ocean air is always much cooler relative to what you may be experiencing on land in the harbour. We provide thick floater jackets for the open boats, but if your preference is to bring your own warm clothing our advice is layer up and be prepared for all weather conditions. This is true even for the semi-covered vessels. Wear soft-soled shoes, NOT sandals (flip flops or bare feet are not suitable). We do supply hats (toques) and gloves but you’re welcome to bring your own (woolly hats recommended, baseball caps not recommended!).
Are the tours suitable for children or families?
Anyone of any age and ability is welcome. Youth under 16 must be accompanied by a supervising adult (19+). Anyone under 19 must have a parent/guardian sign a release waiver prior to check in. Age two and under ride for free! Tours are not recommended for people with serious neck and back problems or those in frail health. Please let us know your concerns at the time of booking. If weather and sea conditions are a factor, the captain will make the final decision prior to departure, always with the guest’s safety and comfort in mind.
What is the chance of seeing whales on a tour?
Our whale sighting success (any species) is 98% from May to December. Offered all year, in the rare case that whales aren’t seen on a tour, guests are covered by our Whale Guarantee—a lifetime pass to come back as many times as is necessary to show you whales!
Are there restroom facilities on board the boats?
Yes, 1 one each open speed boat and 2 on the semi-covered catamarans.
Is Eagle Wing Accessible?
Our tours are accessible to everyone of every ability and background. If you’re a guest with mobility limitations or require a disability adaptation or accommodation, we’ll do everything in our power to help you safely and comfortably enjoy your marine adventure with us! All four of our bigger vessels are accessible in different ways. Our two semi-covered vessels, Wild 4 Whales and 4 Ever Wild, have a number of features to meet the needs of people with limited mobility. Service dogs are welcome. Our larger vessels are most ideal for the comfort and safety of both the guest and furry companion!
