This wonderful whale watching and marine wildlife cruise invites you to experience BC’s enchanting wildlife. It is carbon neutral and led by certified and trained marine naturalists whose passion and knowledge of Vancouver Island marine wildlife expands your own understanding and offers memories to last a lifetime.
With a greater than 95% success rate of spotting whales between April and October, you’re likely to encounter Bigg’s killer whales (transient orca), humpback, minke, and gray whales. Keep an eye out also for Steller and California sea lions, sea otters, harbor porpoises, and many different types of seabird, including cormorants and bald eagles.
This covered-vessel tour offers a heated indoor cabin, outdoor viewing decks providing a bird’s-eye view of the wildlife, marine naturalist guides, an on-board restroom, hot beverages included, and snacks available for purchase. Check out the gift shop on board for a memento.
Notes:
Dress warmly in layers with a windproof and waterproof outer layer; bring a warm hat, gloves and a scarf. Wear comfortable non-skid walking shoes. Tour requires minimal walking. Terrain includes steps from the pier to the boat, which can be very steep at low tide. Suitable for guests using a collapsible wheelchair if able to make their own way on and off the vessel with a companion to assist. Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed.
