Vancouver: Half-Day Whale-Watching Tour with Optional Shuttle

4.6 (1600) 🕑 5 hours Free cancellation

Explore the incredible marine life near Vancouver during this half-day whale watching cruise in search of orcas and much more. If you’re a nature lover or simply looking for a way to immerse yourself in the scenic beautiful of the western coast of Canada, this excursion is a great option. Start your whale watching trip with pickup from select Vancouver hotels (if option selected) or by meeting at Steveston, where your boat departs. A shuttle transports guests from convenient hotel locations in Vancouver, and free parking is available for those arriving by car. Then, climb aboard your sleek, modern whale-watching vessel. This tour travels out into the waters of coastal British Columbia. The area for your excursion is renowned for the orca pods that come to feed on marine mammals throughout the year, and humpback whales that visit during the summer months to feed in the temperate-rich waters. During your tour, you can also look out for porpoises, bald eagles, shore birds, seals, and sea lions. Finally, the tour ends when you return to shore and your original departure point.
