Italy52 Posted October 9, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Have a couple of questions regarding whale watching tours in Victoria: I was looking at tour options for our 7/18 port visit to Victoria and was surprised to find no whale watching tours offered through the cruise line --- is there a reason for this? We are in port from 9 AM to 6 PM and are considering the Orca Spirit 10 AM tour --- is this doable --- we are on RCCL's Rhapsody of the Seas. I know there is a 1 PM tour available but prefer the earlier one because we want to spend some time exploring Victoria. Thanks in advance for your help.

Putterdude Posted October 9, 2012 #2 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I can think of no reason why your ship would not offer a whale watching excursion other than perhaps they haven't completed arrangements with their vendor ofr next season. Orca Spirit and Eagle Wing operate out of Fisherman's Wharf which is a 10/15 walk from the cruise terminal and both are excellent operators. Post tour you are about 10 mins to downtown Victoria and if you wish you can take a cab back from downtown to the cruise terminal for about $10.

I thought it was strange that the cruise line wouldn't post a whale watching tour. All the excursions came up today so when I looked, and didn't see a whale watch, it surprised me. Thanks for your help, I appreciate the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allis154 Posted October 9, 2012 #4 Share Posted October 9, 2012 When I tried to book a whale watching tour for May in Victoria, I was told the schedule and bookings won't be available until late January or February. A couple of companies said March! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
