photo by Jennifer • Love Dwells Here caption reads: Have you ever been whale watching? 🐋

Whale watching can be a pure luck kind of thing. We went last summer from San Juan Island and saw one lone humpback. This time, we went from Victoria with eaglewingtours {partner} and sailed across the Haro Strait to the exact same place, and we saw a family of 6 orcas and several humpbacks!

Even though there's some luck involved, there are things you can do to increase your chances of seeing whales.
* Go with a crew that knows what they're doing and what they're looking for.
* Choose an open boat that can go faster - you can cover more ground and hopefully increase your chances of seeing a whale!
