What gets our guides squawking with excitement? 🦜 The incredible birds of the Salish Sea, especially during migration season!

Meet Lili, one of our lead naturalists and co-lead of our award-winning education program!

Lili did not grow up on the coast but has always been drawn to the ocean. This began with a childhood love of sharks and grew into a keen interest for all marine wildlife. Her journey into the whale world began when she interned with the University of Victoria Whale Research Lab in 2015. One look at a single grey whale launched an obsession!

Lili continued down the whale path working with the SeaWatch Foundation in Cardigan Bay, Wales, studying bottlenose dolphins and educating the public. Lili started her whale watching career in Victoria as a naturalist in 2017, and years later her heart still skips a beat when she encounters a whale.

In 2018 Lili earned her 60-ton captain’s ticket and is currently training as a captain at Eagle Wing. As a naturalist, she combines her knowledge of science and her passion for photography and storytelling to inspire others to protect the ocean.

Say hello to Lili the next time you come out on the water with us!

Meet Rod, one of our amazing captains!

When it comes to running whale watching tours around Vancouver Island, Captain Rod is full of local knowledge!

Rod was born and raised in Victoria and has spent most of that time on the water, from playing in the tides as a young boy to fishing and sailing. He’s circumnavigated Vancouver Island, sailed across the Atlantic, run icebreakers through the Northwest Passage, run BC Ferries ships through Active Pass and the Gulf Islands, and worked on tugboats from Newfoundland to Wisconsin and the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Rod is trained as an oil spill technician and is always on watch in case of an emergency on our coastline. He has a deep love of the local area, a lifelong respect for whales, birds and nature, and loves sharing the wonders of the Salish Sea with our guests. He’s also a born storyteller and is sure to entertain and educate you!

Say hello to Rod the next time you're out on the water with us!
