Overview

This whale watching tour in Victoria lasts about three and a half hours aboard the Salish Sea Eclipse, a Canadian-built catamaran that holds up to 95 passengers. The vessel is designed for safety and comfort while traveling through the currents of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Guests can listen to a team of three to four expert guides and naturalists who provide commentary about marine mammals encountered during the trip. The tour includes a free photo package capturing wildlife moments, tea and coffee, and access to two washrooms on board. Downloadable tour guides are available in English, Spanish, French, German, and Dutch. Children receive coloring books and educational guides. A conservation fee supporting the Salish Sea and the 1% For The Planet initiative is included. The operator offers a whale sightings guarantee with complimentary return tours from all locations if whales are not seen, although this guarantee requires additional fees. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included. Passengers are advised to check in 30 minutes before departure and should dress for the weather, as the tour runs in most conditions. Service animals may join if they have proper documentation and a life jacket, subject to the captain's approval. The company may request the credit card used for the booking and photo ID at check-in. Minimum passenger numbers apply, and the tour may be canceled with a refund or alternative offered if requirements are not met.
