Whale Watching in Vancouver
Description
Take a boat ride, see the glorious Vancouver scenery and admire Canadian whales in their natural habitat. Truly an incredible experience!
Description
When you make your reservation, you'll be able to choose the type of Vancouver whale-watching tour you prefer. Both options include an English-speaking guide on board the comfortable catamaran, as well as a bottle of water and hot drinks during the boat trip:
Morning Whale Watching
After meeting on Duranleau Street, at the pier, we'll board a large catamaran and head out into the waters of western Canada.
At sea, we'll enjoy breathtaking views of the Canadian Rockies, the luscious pine tree forests, and of course, we'll spot the famous whales. These large mammals inhabit these waters, attracted by the return of the salmon in the spring and summer.
In addition to whales, we'll also see dolphins, sea lions, and bald eagles flying over the Canadian coastline. After three to five hours at sea, we'll return to the Vancouver port, with amazing photographs and even better memories!
Sunset Whale Watching
This option departs from the same point aboard a catamaran that will take us on a whale and marine wildlife-watching tour at sunset, a truly amazing experience!
Throughout the cruise, we'll experience the majesty of the Salish Sea and its wildlife, from the whales that emerge from the waters to greet us to the bald eagles soaring overhead.
We'll explore the currents of the Strait of Georgia and Howe Sound, searching for different types of whales while listening to stories about these marine animals. And best of all, enjoy the stunning views from the boat at sunset!
