Highlights
  • See a huge variety of sea life, including orcas, humpback whales, dolphins, sea lions, and more
  • Enjoy an exhilarating ride on a Zodiac boat along some of the world's most beautiful coastline
  • Learn about the wildlife you see from your Transport Canada-approved skipper
Full description
This 3-hour whale-watching tour boasts sighting just about everything there is to see, including groups of predatory transient orcas and breaching humpback calves. Recently, a guest proposed to his girlfriend as a pod of killer whales cavorted in the background! Get suited up in a cozy cruiser suit, ensuring your comfort and safety for the duration of the trip. The tour departs from Victoria’s beautiful inner harbor. Your ride on one of the zipping Zodiac-style boats will be nearly as exciting as seeing the whales. Each of the boats seats 12, and there are great views from every seat. On the way out of the harbor, the boat passes the historic Victoria coastline. Once out of the harbor you’ll see a variety of different species of sea life, including orcas, humpback whales, grey whales, minke whales, porpoises, dolphins, sea lions, elephant seals, otters, and bald eagles. Every tour is guided by a Transport Canada-approved skipper, who will provide information and commentary on all of the wildlife you see.

Our driver was Dustin. He was very professional, and knowledgable and we felt very safe in the boat. The boat ride itself was tons of fun, but Dustin took us to see sea lions, and had three sightings of humpback mothers and calves! It was truly amazing. I will never forget it!

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Mark was so great with all the questions, and made sure we all had smiles on our faces. Jasper got some kelp for us to see, and eat. The lady who signed us in and fitted us with floater suits was so kind and full of smiles... I highly recommend this tour...
