Whale watching on the West Coast

Experience a day to remember in the best place in the world to view whales, Victoria. See orcas and humpback whales in their natural habitat and spot a variety of other marine life along the way, including porpoises, California sea lions, seals, elephant seals, otters and a variety of birds, such as cormorants and American bald eagles.
