Tours
Welcome to Victoria, BC for your whale watching journey!
With our moderate climate, beautiful scenery and plentiful wildlife its no wonder why the Victoria area has been rated as one of the best places in the world to view the Killer Whales and other marine wildlife in its natural habitat.
Every tour is an 'original experience! It is very much like purchasing an original work of art, going home, and knowing that it is 'just yours'! The anticipation of not knowing what you are going to experience is a major reason why this is so magical. Nature is forever changing and unveils a movement and rhythm that is captivating.
The wildlife around Victoria is spectacular, diverse, enchanting, and memorable.
The possibilities are endless: Orca, Gray whales, Humpback whales, Minke whales, Fin whale (rare), Dall's porpoise, Harbour porpoise, Seals & Sea-lions, Eagles, Falcon, Osprey, Common Murre, Cormorant and a whole variety of diving and shore birds, inter tidal life: sea stars, urchins, fish, krill, dragon flies, kelp forests, and much, much, more!

Fresh air, water-color painting-like settings, a thrilling boat ride, diverse wildlife, these are all ingredients for a memorable marine excursion.
