About this experience
Join us for a thrilling whale watching experience on the Salish Sea aboard our 12-passenger open-air Zodiac vessels. These custom-built boats are designed for agility, stability, and an up-close connection with the ocean, making them ideal for guests who enjoy adventure and being out in the elements. Watch for Humpback Whales, Orcas (Killer Whales), Gray Whales, and Minke Whales, along with sea lions, seals, porpoises, and a variety of marine birds. You will be outfitted in a Transport Canada-mandated Mustang flotation suit and guided by a certified Skipper who also serves as your onboard naturalist. Along the way, you will learn about the whales and the Salish Sea ecosystem while taking in fresh coastal air and incredible scenery. We are proud to offer a 95 percent whale sighting success rate during peak season. If no whales are seen on your tour, you will receive a complimentary return trip.
