Discover the majestic wildlife of Vancouver’s Salish Sea on a whale-watching tour. Search for orcas and humpback whales as you cruise the water with an expert guide who will share fascinating stories about the wonderful marine life that inhabits the sea.

Set sail on the Salish Sea and begin your 3-5 hour whale watching journey. During this time, you’ll have spectacular views of the city and amazing sights of the surrounding wildlife. See humpback whales, orca whales, sea lions, bald eagles, seals, and more! Be sure to bring your camera to capture these stunning sights, but worry not, as you’ll receive a complimentary photo package at the end of the tour with professional photographs taken during your tour.

The catamaran boats used are designed to be environmentally friendly, using low-emission engines and hydrofoil technology to reduce fuel consumption and noise pollution. The team also follow strict guidelines for responsible whale watching practices, ensuring a safe distance is kept and avoiding sudden changes in speed.

The boats ensure great views, with floor-to-ceiling windows on the lower deck, offering unobstructed views from only a few feet above the water while keeping you warm. Or go up to the 22ft elevated viewing platform for panoramic views!

To top off your sightseeing experience, enjoy complimentary tea, coffee, and hot chocolate on board. Plus, guests can choose to purchase light snacks during the tour.

The sunset tour will showcase the beautiful sunset over the English Bay at the end of the tour.
