Good morning kiajewelers, During peak season (May-October), there is no better time to join us for a tour. The whales aren’t more active at any particular time of day, so we suggest choosing a tour that works best for your schedule and booking well in advance. As our vessels get ready to leave the dock in the morning, we consider sightings from the previous day. We also use our knowledge of the travel habits of the whales to decide where to start searching. We coordinate with other companies to cover more area, and we all share sightings information. We also have an extensive network of people who call in with sightings from shore, ferries, fishing boats, private vessels and sometimes even float planes. This ensures a high sightings success rate. We’re usually able to find whales very early in the day. We strongly recommend leaving yourself a bit of free time after the tour. Our company is well-known for extending tours as needed—depending on weather, and location and behaviour of the whales—to ensure you get an amazing experience. We’ll literally go the extra mile (or 50!) as needed. Nature is flexible, and so are we! If you have any other questions we can help you with, please don't hesitate to contact us! All the best, Mika, Social Sustainability Manager

My husband and I just visited BC in May and it didn’t get dark until way later (I’d say past 9:30PM). And I would actually not agree with the previous person. What’s great about Eagle Wings is they are a company that is willing (as long as you and the other customers are) to extend trips at no extra charge to you so that you can see a whale. Sometimes they’ve extended over an hour if it means you get to see a whale. You may not see every kind of whale (we only saw Orcas on our trip) but they do their VERY best to get you at least one sighting. You can always call them too if you’re concerned. They are very nice. And they actually HAVE to stay back but provide you with binoculars to see them much better. They also will follow them along so that it’s more than just one glimpse. We got about 15 minutes with one pod before heading to a different location to see a different pod. Remember, you are in their habitat and it’s respectful not to get extremely close to them.

Q:
We will be in port on Thursday, 29 August from 9-6 on the Ovation. Do you offer shuttle services to/from the pier? What time would you recommend? I was hoping for a 9:30, but that’s probably unrealistic.
A:
They do offer a shuttle service but it cannot go into the pier due to regulations. They just pick you up across the street from the cruise ship terminal in their whale van. If you are looking …
A:
They do offer a shuttle service but it cannot go into the pier due to regulations. They just pick you up across the street from the cruise ship terminal in their whale van. If you are looking for this option contact them at least a couple days prior to your tour to book the time. The 9:30am might be pushing it because it can take more than 30 minutes to disembark. The 10am would be a safer option. The 9:30am and 10am are both on catamaran styles so you cannot go wrong with either vessel :) both have plenty of indoor/outdoor seating as well

Good afternoon Ms. Robertson, When booking the open vessels (Serengeti and Goldwing), we cannot guarantee which boat in particular we will be sending out as it depends on the number of guests booked for that tour (as well as weather, on occasion). That being said, in peak season (summer) we generally send both boats, so if you put a note with your preference in the reservation we will do everything we can to put you on that boat! If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask. We look forward to seeing you soon! All the best, Mika Ogilvie, Social Sustainability Manager

Q:
We are going to book a tour with you in July as part of our honeymoon and are so excited! However, frustratingly, I do get sea sick, so am apprehensive about the bobbing around on the water. I really don't want to spoil the day for my husband-to-be, so would you recommend a time of day or vessel that is better for non-sailors like me? Thanks so much, Hannah

Good morning Hannah90, Thank you for contacting us! We would recommend a morning tour, as the wind sometimes picks up later in the afternoon. Goldwing, our larger open scarab, is always a good option, as being out in the open and being able to watch land is always beneficial for those who suffer from mal de mer. If you decide to take any medication for it, just be sure to take it well in advance to allow it to start to work before you head out for your tour. We do recommend making reservations as this is a busy time of year for us, but do feel free to all us when you arrive in town and we are happy to update you with the most recent weather predictions. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact us! All the best, Mika Ogilvie, Social Sustainability Manager
