Two Victoria experiences are earning national attention once again.<\/p>\n

Eagle Wing Whale Watching Tours and A Taste of Victoria Food Tours have both landed on Tripadvisor\u2019s 2026 \u201cTravellers\u2019 Choice Awards: Best of the Best Things To Do\u201d list in Canada, with strong showings among the country\u2019s top attractions.<\/p>\n

Eagle Wing\u2019s whale and wildlife cruise ranked second overall, while A Taste of Victoria\u2019s guided food and history tour came in fifth.<\/p>\n

The annual rankings<\/a> are based on the volume of \u201cabove-and-beyond reviews and opinions\u201d from Tripadvisor users over a 12-month period. According to the company, fewer than 1% of its more than eight million listings earn a spot on the Best of the Best lists.<\/p>\n

Tripadvisor highlighted Eagle Wing\u2019s tour as a standout way to spot whales, sea lions and other marine life from the comfort of a catamaran, complete with expert commentary from onboard naturalists.<\/p>\n

A Taste of Victoria\u2019s experience, meanwhile, was praised as an easy way for visitors to sample locally sourced food while learning about the city\u2019s history, with stops through areas like Chinatown, Old Town and the Inner Harbour.<\/p>\n

The recognition marks another milestone for A Taste of Victoria Food Tours, which says it has now made the Best of the Best list seven times in the past eight years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis recognition isn\u2019t just great for us, it shines a spotlight on Victoria as a whole,\u201d said Jessica Taylor-Olson, the company\u2019s social media and marketing manager.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving multiple local experiences ranked among the best in Canada shows what a special destination this is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Topping this year\u2019s list was a tour of Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and Banff offered by Banff Everyday Tours in Alberta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two Victoria experiences are earning national attention once again.
