An exhilarating experience that’s much more than whales.
The raw and rugged beauty of Canada’s wild West Coast offers some of the most awe-inspiring scenery and whale watching on the planet, all within an hour or two of your hotel.
From May to October tours depart from Vancouver and Victoria, as well as British Columbia’s more remote destinations. Explore the beautiful coastlines of Tofino, Ucluelet and Johnstone Strait, meeting humpbacks, gray whales and orcas along the way. When not spellbound by the fascinating spectacle of whales breaching, spouting and spy-hopping, you’ll enjoy watching for other wildlife including sea otters, sea lions, harbor seals, bald eagles and playful dolphins.
Whatever your age or traveling style, there’s a whale-watching experience for you in B.C. Sign up for a part- or full-day tour on a luxury catamaran, get a little wet and wild on a high-speed zodiac or take your time on a leisurely kayak tour. You can even join a research vessel or book a berth on a historic sailboat for a week-long adventure.
