Overview

Passengers board a small boat in Cowichan Bay for a half-day whale and wildlife tour lasting around four hours. The trip focuses on sightings of Orca whales, transient killer whales, humpback whales, grey whales, and minke whales. Alongside whales, the guide points out sea lions, bald eagles, harbour seals, Dalls porpoises, harbour porpoises, and various marine birds throughout the Salish Sea. The tour is limited to groups of 12 or fewer for a more personal experience. A certified captain who is also a naturalist leads the boat, providing live commentary about the animals and ecosystem. Photography guidance is included to help guests capture wildlife moments. The company is centrally located on Vancouver Island and records the highest Orca and humpback whale sightings in the area each year. Guests should prepare for changing weather conditions and check in 30 minutes before departure. The tour is not suitable for pregnant women. Recommended items to bring include water, snacks, sunscreen, and a light sweater. Gratuities are not included in the price.
