We saw a pod of 3 whales

This was an amazing trip and experience. We booked the half day trip. Crew were friendly and attentive. Becky and Aurora were so knowledgeable, clearly subject matter experts in their field and passionate about marine conservation.
We were very fortunate to come across a pod of three killer whales. A truly unforgettable experience.
If you are able to, book this for the first part of your stay in Vancouver so that if no whales are seen you can go out again free of charge.

Grand tour

Yesterday we went for a whale watching tour with this company. Strong wind, so a very bumpy but also a very exiting ride. Unfortunately we didn’t see any whales:( We did see some very nosy and cute seal puppies and several eagles. But our guide Wilma was a living library and did make our trip very interesting and fun. We will come back shortly to have another go to see those elusive whales! Highly recommended!!!

Hello,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are very sorry that you were not successful in seeing whales that day. Every tour is unpredictable and different in terms of what can be spotted. Just like whale watching anywhere in this region, or the world, sometimes we aren't lucky enough to see whales.

We do stand by our whale sighting guarantee and encourage our guests to join us on another tour in future at no cost, in the instance that no whales have been sighted. The experience of our guests is really important to us so please do contact us to arrange another booking. We would be happy to help!

Brilliant afternoon with knowledgable crew

We took the boat from Granville Island, we sat upstairs and although it was a fast and sometime bumpy ride it was great. We were lucky with the weather, sunny although a bit cold at time. We travelled for over an hour and a half before we saw any sign of a whale but then they appeared and we spent the next hour watching them. Particularly special was the mum and her calf who surfaced close to us. on the way back we passed close to some small islands and saw a variety of wildlife, bald eagles, a variety of seals and sea otters. The crew were brilliant, showing us maps of where we were going and photos of the various types of whales we may see

Amazing day

Did the ultimate day experience - 4 hours whale watching and then Victoria and The gardens.
It was an absolute amazing day - the sun was out, we found 2 pods of Orcas playing in the water, had a super friendly and knowledgeable crew who kept moving around explaining everything ‘whale’ and beyond. I decided to take the first bus to the gardens, which was a great idea as there is so much to see as you stroll through enjoying the sights and smells of the flowers. The trip back was uneventful. The captain tried for some more whales, but they couldn’t be found - but we all had an amazing day and I can highly recommend this fantastic itinerary. It’s not cheap, but I felt it was worthwhile.

The Butchart Gardens is definitely a beautiful sight, especially at this time of year and coupling this with whale watching makes for a terrific way to spend the day :)
