We went on a morning tour in their covered boat. Had a great time and saw lots of Orcas!!! Saw eagles too. The crew were very knowledgable and even recognized the whales in the pod. Another plus to this company is they will pick you up at your hotel and take you to where they launch. A definite plus. I... more

A whale watching trip in an open zodiac boat is one of those special sightseeing trips that will long be remembered. Vancouver Whale Watch makes it easy by picking you up at, and returning you to, your hotel for $15, well worth the convenience. Along with the captain, a naturalist is on board to talk about the whales and other... more

I recommend this activity for all ages. We saw grey whales and enjoyed a pleasant boat trip. I chose the semi covered boat and was glad I did even though the day was sunny, the air temp was quite cold on the water. The shuttle service was great. There is food available at the dock to buy for the boat.... more

Having visited Vancouver twice previously, I finally managed to get out to sea! My experience with Vancouver Whale Watch was outstanding. The company were great and the guide was fantastic with an immense knowledge of local history, culture, flora and fauna. The weather was fantastic, the open-boat really comfortable and finally the orca......We saw 10 of the 28 whales in... more

We booked via the web site months in advance just to make sure we could go on Lightship one during one of our 3 days in Vancouver. We took the bus from Downtown Vancouver, it took just over an hour to get to Richmond and it didn't cost too much. We made it to the office, got kitted up in... more

If you want to see whales I wouldn't recommend this company. They waited until we had paid and were in the boat then told us that the whales were on the other side of Vancouver Island and their boat didn't have the range to get there. They showed us some seals and told us what types of birds we were... more

This past weekend we went on a whale-watching trip with Vancouver Whale Watch. People think that the best place to see whales is from Vancouver Island, but from our research we learned that this company goes to the same location visited by trips leaving from Victoria. The boat captain and naturalist on-board were great. The water was a little rough,... more

Front Desk was too pushy... I felt like they were pressuring me to go on a trip when I was just browsing around in the office, trying to figure out some more information about this tour. I felt like she was trying to threaten me that I would not see any whales ever in my life if I didn't sign... more

Date of Whalewatch: 4 August 2003 What can I say ....... awesome, breathtaking, out of this world .............. words are not enough. From the moment we stepped aboard the Explorathor, with our two crew, Roger and Michelle, there was an air of anticipation from all those on board. The beginning of our journey was marked by passing the eagles sat... more
