We had an amazing adventure with Eagle Wind Tours! One of the highlights of our trip in Alberta and BC. Not only did we get to see 17 orcas, 3 humpback whales, many California sea lions, harbour seals and Steller sea lions, but we got to be lucky enough to hear the orcas and see them breach!! 🤩 It is an unforgettable moment!! Thank you to Meaghan and Jo-Anne for their knowledge and kindness, to Peter for getting us there and around and to Tom for his photos and his knowledge on each orca individual. You guys make an incredible team!! Way to go!!

Wonderful! We got to see many humpback whales all around the boat, and enjoyed hearing all about them from our guides. They took great care of us and were friendly and knowledgeable. We also got to see some sea lions and elephant seals on the way back. It was a great trip!
