Whale Watching Tour in Victoria, BC & 7 Whale Watching Tips

[@TheAverageTourist]

Have you ever seen whales up close like this in the wild? We had an incredible time whale watching and getting lunch at Fisherman's Wharf - such a great experience 😊

[@leftcoastcorrie]

Your footage is incredible! Thanks for sharing. As a local resident of Victoria, I too have been with Eagle Wing Tours 3 times and have always seen whales.

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks so much, it was such an amazing experience. 🙌

[@LucasWorldTravel]

Wow! The whales got so close and you got to see them so well! That truly looks like an amazing expereince. And thanks for the great tips for preparing for the journey. Awesome video!

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks - it was an incredible day to remember.

[@karentan7792]

I’m about to go on a whale watching tour at the exact same place! What a coincidence! Thanks for your video, now I know what to expect :)

[@ervinslens]

This is simply a magnificent sight, mother nature is glorious indeed. Love it.

[@TheAverageTourist]

It was awesome!

[@TravelInteresante]

That's looking so much fun! Whales are such incredible animals, so exciting that you got so close with them! I would have freaked out about it if I was you!!! Nice post whale watching lunch you had there (well now I am hungry) and thanks for the tips. My dream is to pet them one day!

[@arunram5628]

Amazing video as always!!! Loved the close encounter with the whales. Such a cool adventure you had :)

[@arunram5628]

Came back for another round of watch!!! Beautiful video :)

[@sailingkashmir]

We are sailing in B.C. and just saw our first whale up here. (I’ve seen them in CA but my man had never seen one. Such majestic creatures.❤

[@TheAverageTourist]

Very cool! Such a beautiful experience

[@traveladvisorak6065]

This seems to be lot of fun. Watching huge whales and sea lions, haven't been on whale watching tour yet. The lunch at Fisherman's wharf and the tips of whale watching were great. Another nice one.

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks very much! We had an amazing whale experience.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Wow! You guys had an incredible day for this weather wise and in number of whale sightings. They looked like they were just having fun hanging out by your boat! 🐋

[@TheAverageTourist]

I feel like they were "human watching" they kept popping out of the water to look at us!

[@MrSujano]

FIRST! Great tips and awesome video! Good times and great tour!

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thank you!

[@EmmVentures]

I have never seen whales so up close!! I would love to do this one day! Absolutely beautiful my friend!

[@TheAverageTourist]

It was a wonderful experience!

[@BeingBedingfield]

Wow! You guys got so lucky with those whales 🤗 reminds me of my whale tour in Alaska when I worked on a cruise ship 😌 just so amazing! Love the look of Fisherman’s Wharf, so vibey and wow, your fish n chips looks so good 🤤

[@TheAverageTourist]

It was such a lucky trip for us. And we loved the vibe of Fisherman's wharf too.

[@TheCountryCollectors]

I WHALEY love whales 🐳! What amazing amazing experience to have and be able to share! They were amazing and huge! What gentle giants! The boat looked pretty cool too! Nothing live some donuts and fish and chips to finish off a day like that!

[@TheAverageTourist]

The puns never disappoint! It was a pretty great day.

[@Explorcation]

Whoa there is so much whale action 😍 your experience was amazing! I can't believe how close they were to the boat...and for soo long 😊 I approve of dessert before lunch 🍩 😆 As far as the sauce question..it depends on what I am eating...I can be all three at times. Oh noo Alan 😟 I hope the seasickness passed quickly!

[@TheAverageTourist]

So much whale action!! it was awesome. And I'm definitely on board with the sweets before lunch these days. Alan hardly eats dip or sauce on anything. He was good eventually.

[@Explorcation]

@@TheAverageTourist glad to hear he eventually recovered :)

[@TheMapPinners]

Oh my goodness, what a spectacular tour! Way more successful than our whale watching tour in Iceland hahaha. So amazing that you got to get so close to them! 😍 They are so incredible

[@TheAverageTourist]

I guess it's hard to know what you're going to see - but we were so lucky!

[@Bengo27]

That is amazing😮

[@StepsbyKaatje]

What an amazing tour! 😁👍 How great it is to see whales! Something still on my bucket list! 😁 All the best! Kaat

[@TheAverageTourist]

It was such a fun tour

[@tylerdixon5629]

I am about to go on my first whale watching tour this weekend. I am trying to learn all I can before I go. I also dip my food and sauce but I think I should try spreading it. Never thought of that 😅

[@TheAverageTourist]

Hope you had a great tour and saw lots of whales!

[@merzoukiabdelmoula2478]

Wow, that is an amazing experience, thanks for the sharing 👍

[@SapphireBlueTravelExplores]

Whale watching is on my bucket list. What amazing experience and I love where you departed from. Did you guys feel the movement on the boat from the whales rolling?

[@superdave577]

Eagle Wing Tours is fantastic! Was up there this past summer and toured with them. Can't say enough good things.

[@TheAverageTourist]

Same!! Such a fabulous experience 🙌

[@romanandfizah]

This is so cool ! Thank you for sharing with us, full support from us to you . Please take care. Roman & Fizah

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks very much! I appreciate it.

[@elizabethsenna7588]

Fantastic your video. I would like to your opinion about to go with the open boat?

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks very much! We chose this boat because it had washrooms on board. The open dingy style boats don't and you're gone for a few hours. So that was why we chose this kind of boat with indoor and outdoor seating.

[@iselaguerra3524]

I will be visiting next month... will definitely book this excursion!! ....any suggestions besides the whale watching?

[@TheAverageTourist]

Fisherman's Wharf is very fun, and we really enjoyed exploring around downtown Victoria and even going outside to Sooke, BC for the potholes and some of the beaches.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Love the tips at the end, we both just got a little too much sun on our skin during a boat tour in Ushuaia, never did we think we’d get sunburnt at the end of the world next to Antarctica! 😅

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks!! There were a few things I didn't know in advance so wanted to help out others if they watch this :)

[@caleboblak]

Wow this was truly an experience of a lifetime, I have been whale watching and only caught one breaching in the distance. The smothering is also a good tip lol loving your videos!

[@TheAverageTourist]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@yolliesworld3158]

Hi what month did you do this? We have one booked for the very beginning of June and are hearing there isn’t much activity. We awe doing it bay of Fundy.

[@TheAverageTourist]

We did this the first week of September - not sure if that's a good time or we were just really really lucky!

[@H2B]

Amazing all The way Dear

[@imageitinerary]

dang you were so lucky!

[@TheAverageTourist]

Yes it was an amazing experience 🙌

[@tmarano2065]

WOW awesome!!!!

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks!

[@thelonehiker4698]

Pretty cool, always wanted to go whale watching, support from The Lone Hiker

[@user-qg7zr1rk7e]

People don't realize whale watching is actually very high risk activity with great chance not to see any whales. The claim of 95% success rate is absolute misinformation. You need to make your own decision if you are willing to risk hundreds buck. But I have to admit it is an amazing experience if you do see whales.

[@TheAverageTourist]

Yes there is no guarantee at all. Even a slight glimpse of a whale in the far distance would "count" as a success. This experience was once in a lifetime - definitely not a usual thing.

[@craig9039]

How long is the world watching tour

[@TheAverageTourist]

It was a few hours
