Eagle Wing Whale Watching Tours

09/05/2026

Honoured to be featured in Virtuoso’s story on experiencing Canada through the people who know it best.

The piece spotlights our co-founders Brett Soberg and Don Stewart, who’ve spent nearly three decades getting to know the rich wildlife of the Salish Sea.

As Brett puts it: “The whales may be the ambassadors of the Salish Sea, but they represent only the visible threads of a much larger tapestry.”

Read the full story:

Chase the northern lights in the Northwest Territories with an Indigenous storyteller, meet one of Québec’s winemaking pioneers, and go whale-watching off the coast of British Columbia with passionate wildlife guides.

Another week, another wild fact! 🌿

After more than 18 years of leading low-impact, conservation-driven whale watching, in 2025 we became the first whale watching company in the world to formally go Nature Positive.

We go beyond reducing our impact by actively helping the Salish Sea recover through conservation, research, education, and responsible tourism.

Oh my, what a crazy August it’s been! Whales everywhere, it seemed. Humpbacks gathering to the west; various families of Bigg’s killer whales going every which way off Victoria. They’ve even come into Victoria’s inner harbour—several times! We can't wait to see what September will bring! Enjoy these highlights from recent tours….

Wild fact of the week! 👀

Since 2009, we’ve measured our carbon footprint, reduced as much as we can, and offset the rest through our partnership with Wilderness International. Together, we’ve helped preserve 104,172 m² of old-growth forest, vital habitat for countless species. And we're not stopping there!

This Sunday our second Puffin trip of the year to Smith Island went off without a hitch, with a surprise showing of all three Jaeger species in the span of 10 minutes! This was Rocky Point Bird Observatory and Eagle Wing’s first time encountering Long-tailed Jaeger on one of our tours, and marked the 149th species seen together. Other highlights included 15 Tufted Puffins, an early Sooty Shearwater, tens of thousands of Rhinocerous Auklet, thousands of Heermann’s Gulls, and a shocking middle of summer Yellow-billed Loon.

What do you think will be species #150? Our current best guesses:

Greater White-fronted Goose
Eurasian Wigeon
Semipalmated Plover
Marbled Godwit
