Breath taking

Published on Apr, 2024

Absolutely amazing. We saw close to 2 dozen Orcas today. There was cute 1 year old calf. Finished the day off with sea lions and seals. Staff are amazing as well. 10/10

Bucket list experience

Published on Mar, 2024

This trip was just incredible and a real travel bucket list experience. We saw a whole pod of orcas in their natural habitat without disturbing them. We kept our distance in the zodiac but we were able to observe for quite some time! The t expedition leader Ian is full of knowledge of the orca’s, marine wildlife and the environment they live in. Ian made the real difference for us. His amazing and funny personality makes for a fun and entertaining afternoon. And he literally went the extra mile for us during the trip. Thank you so much team at Springtide, and Ian in particular for this bucket list experience. Regards from your Dutch friends and see you next time!

I would go daily if I could afford it

Published on Mar, 2024

From check-in to returning back at the dock, Springtide runs a fantastic experience. Hanna is incredibly kind and helpful, Ian, our guide and captain extraordinaire knows his stuff. We saw Orcas, sea lions, comorans and my time with them is definitely in the top 10 best experiences of my life. I will definitely be bringing family when they come visit. Even the experience of being on the water on a nice day is wonderful.

Highlight of Vancouver Island

Published on Dec, 2019

Group of 5 friends who made last minute decision to do a Whale watching trip, after thinking all were closed for the season. Best decision we made, Captain Ian was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable and could hear him conversing with other boats to heighten our chances of seeing wildlife. We were very lucky to spend ages with 2 Humpback Whales, along with seeing a further Whale in the not to distance. We loved seeing the different seals around the lighthouse, along with some Eagles. A real bonus of seeing an Elephant Seal! Obviously no guarantee to see Wildlife, but would recommend to others as a great trip.

Amazing Christmas Eve Experience!

Published on Dec, 2019

We left Victoria Harbour at about 1pm with Springtide. Captain Ian was incredibly knowledgeable about the surrounding area and kept the experience fun. Although it was late in the season and there were very few boats out we got the amazing opportunity to watch four seperate Humpback Whales feeding and travelling in a pack. We then travelled to Race Rock and got really lucky spotting an Elephant Seal, which was unexpected for that time of year. There was also a good show put on by Sea Lions, Seals and a few Bald Eagles, which really rounded out the whole experience within the amazing backdrop of the Salish Sea. As far as first experiences go I was incredibly satisfied with this trip and was amazed to learn that a portion of their profits go back to environmental awareness and conservation programs. Thanks Springtide!
