    Absolutely incredible experience! We saw a pod of Orcas, 4 humpback whales, sea lions, bald eagles, and seals. Amazing team and experience. We did the semi covered catamaran, 11/10 recommend!!

  • 5Memorable Trip

    Amazing 6.5 hour trip through the Juan De Fuca Strait looking for migratory birds. The crew of 4 were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in making sure we all, 51 of us, got to see the Red Footed Booby!

  • 5Above and beyond my expectations.

    Sensational tour, The all girl crew were fabulous and so informative!! We saw about half a dozen whales, even a mum and baby! The seal colony was wonderful (if a little smelly :) ...) All in all, I feel this company definitely delivers what they promise, and more.. I was particularly impressed with the email after the tour with COMPLIMENTARY photos!! Never have I seen this before, they could easily have done the money grab and sell them.. It was the cherry on the top of a fabulous day out.

  • 5Orca and whale watching

    Had the best time and saw whales, orcas on the boat for 3h30. Tilley, Hana and Emma were super helpful and Evan was an amazing driver getting so close to the animals. Would recommend

    This was one of our favourite experiences of our trip. Our guides, Laura and Trev were amazing and informative and so much fun. They made sure that we got every experience possible. We got to see so many animals including hump back whales, killer whales, sea lions, seals and a sea otter. We really had the best experience!!

About Vancouver Island

Vancouver Island is a long, mountainous island off British Columbia, home to the capital Victoria, temperate rainforest and whale-watching waters.

Vancouver Island runs about 460 kilometres along the Pacific coast of British Columbia, with a spine of mountains, deep inlets and old forest. Victoria, the provincial capital at the southern tip, has the Inner Harbour, the Parliament Buildings and the Royal BC Museum. Nearby, Butchart Gardens fills an old limestone quarry with flower beds, and Craigdarroch Castle, a Victorian mansion, stands on a hill in the city.
