Every summer approximately 80 Orca Whales visit the waters surrounding Vancouver. View these intelligent creatures in their natural habitat on a high-speed sea safari. Travel in comfortable, covered boats through spectacular West Coast scenery.

Other marine wildlife you are likely to encounter includes dolphins, seals, sea lions, and bald eagles as well as some of the finest North West Pacific island scenery. Grey and Humpback whales migrate along the West Coast in spring and fall when there is a high likelihood to see them as well. Whale sighting chances are at a high probability of 85 percent.

The tour takes 3-6 hours depending on the whale situation. Listen as your trained naturalist guide explains the dynamics of the surrounding ecosystem. Even get the chance to visit the famous Granville Island and explore the local shops and restaurants.

Finally, conclude your tour with convenient transport back to your Vancouver accommodation.
