Whale Watching Victoria

Your fun filled weekend starts now!

Friday, May 6th, 2011

Yesterday, we were treated to a scenic trip past Trial Island and up the coast of San Juan. Both areas are rich in wildlife as Trial Island is home to the Trial Islands Ecological Reserve and San Juan is a popular hang out for both resident and transient orcas! Spoiled with sunshine, seals and bountiful bald eagles, we had a great day out on the water! The fun will continue straight through the weekend with trips going out on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We still have a few seats left – come join us! 250-384-4444

These are a few of our favourite things!

We love whales and we love our moms! That’s why this Mother’s Day we recommend that you combine two of our favourite things and head out on a whale watching adventure with your mom! What better way to spend quality time together than out on the water, enjoying Victoria’s beautiful West Coast wild life and one another’s company. When we’re not hanging out with our moms, we’re in the office so give us a call at 250-384-4444 and we’ll be happy to help you plan an incredible Mother’s Day!

Got the Monday blues? We have the solution!

Yesterday I was lucky enough to get out from behind my desk in the Springtide office and head out on the water myself! It was a bit breezy but the sun was shining and I had great company with our fantastic skipper, Dave, and two special guests, Samantha and Colleen, who traveled all the way to Victoria from Oz! We headed West out of the harbour towards Race Rocks. Here we were lucky enough to spot several seals and sea lions basking in the sun, sitting just high enough to stay out of the reach of transient orcas who wouldn’t pass up the chance to have a tasty seal snack! All in all, it was a beautiful day and I was reminded of just how amazing the West Coast truly is! So, if you’re looking for an excuse to get out of the office and onto the water, look no further – whale watching is the perfect solution!

Whale watching specials and Victoria Harbour Day celebrations – we’ve got all the ingredients for an unbelievable weekend!

Friday, April 15th, 2011

We hope that you’re ready for an incredible weekend because there’s going to be lots of great stuff happening in Victoria! Springtide is kicking the weekend off with a confirmed 10:00am zodiac adventure on Saturday. With plenty of whale sightings this week, we’re hopeful our luck will continue through the weekend! On Sunday, recover from the excitement of Saturday’s whale watching and wind things down by joining us at the Victoria Harbour Day celebrations. There’s going to be lots of boat races and displays from local companies who know all the ins and outs of Victoria’s inner harbour (you can find all of the important details at savevictoriaharbour.com). The celebrations are guaranteed to be lots of fun but we’re making it just that much better by offering a Victoria Harbour Day Special! Mention our special between now and April 30th and receive $10 off any adult rate!

Now the only question left is how many hours until the weekend starts!?

Humpback Whale sightings!

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010



What a day! Whale watching passengers on board our zodiac vessel were treated to the sights of Humpback Whales, as the dipped and dove for their lunch. This spectacular photo was taken near Victoria, BC, by Louis Flannery. We will most likely continue to view this magnificent mammals until late October this year.
