An absolutely wonderful experience! Gordon, the captain was like an old friend. His knowledge of the ecology of the area and the behavior of the whales added a lot. We didn't want to be standing shoulder to shoulder with a large crowd, so the smaller capacity of the Luna (12 people max with both inside and outside seating for everyone) was perfect. We saw 3 humpbacks, lots of orcas and many seals. Highly recommended.

Wonderful experience on BC Luna. It was chilly so great to have a warm cabin yet once we arrived off San Juan Island and whales were appearing, plenty of seats and room for everyone at the bow. Accomodates only 12 which makes for a more personal experience. Would highly recommend this excursion and captain for your whale watching adventure in Victoria.

The tour was great and we saw a couple pods of wild killer whales (absolutely gorgeous!), but their customer service was BEYOND amazing! We actually missed our booking in the morning (after our 15 hour flight from Australia) but the staff was kind enough to allow us to go on the afternoon outing at no extra charge!!! Couldn't recommend more highly - thanks for the awesome experience!!!

Awesome tour! Great customer service and our captain was very knowledgeable about the whales and the area. We saw two humpbacks, a pod of orcas, a bald eagle and a bunch of sea lions and seals. The tour took about 3.5 hours and most of it was action packed. The boat was quite comfortable.

Cancelled the boat we were on last minute and put us on a different one. I guess it was essentially the same experience, but still kinda lame. These things happen. Watching the orcas was just watching black triangles (the dorsal fins) pop out of the water from ~200m away. Way too far away to enjoy. I'm guessing there are regulations mandating how close vessels can get to orca pods, so I don't necessarily blame BC Whale Tours, but just don't be fooled into thinking you're going to see the animals even remotely up close. I did enjoy a nice nap during this time. Humpback whales were enjoyable to watch. If you're on the edge about a whale tour like we were, I'd recommend you don't go. If you're a marine animal enthusiast and love the ocean, you will probably enjoy yourself. Also it's like $15 to park and an absolute nightmare to navigate the area when it's busy, so leave yourself lots of time to get through traffic and find a spot.
