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.

Nothing beats watching a humongous killer whale hurl its nine-ton bulk into the air before slapping its tail gracefully back into the deep depths. Enjoy BC's stunning marine fauna on a whale-watching cruise in Victoria. You'll have the opportunity to witness an abundance of wildlife while respecting the natural environment along Vancouver Island's stunning coastline.

Your guides have expert knowledge of the marine life in and around the waters around Vancouver Island. They will tell you more about underwater life, and you will have the opportunity to ask all your questions. This tour lasts about three hours. If you wish, you can be picked up from your accommodation in the morning and dropped off after the boat trip. Snacks and drinks can be bought on board.
