Whale Watching in Vancouver
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:
Whale Watching in the morning
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 live in these waters attracted by the return of the salmon in the spring and summer.
Not only will we see whales, but we'll also see dolphins, sea lions and bald eagles flying over the Canadian coastline. After three to five hours at sea, we'll finally return to the Vancouver port, with amazing photographs and even better memories!
Whale watching at sunset
In this option, we'll depart 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 in search of different types of whales while listening to stories about these marine animals. And best of all, the views from the boat at sunset!
