Overview

This summer whale watching tour in Victoria, Canada, lasts three hours and twenty minutes aboard a Zodiac boat that holds up to 12 passengers. The open vessel exposes guests to west coast weather while traveling through the Juan de Fuca and Haro Strait. The tour focuses on spotting whales such as transient Killer Whales, Humpback Whales, and Minke Whales, along with seals, sea lions, and various marine birds. A professional guide accompanies the group and survival suits are provided for all passengers. The boat stops for about ten minutes near a lighthouse. Another stop of approximately twenty minutes is made at Race Rocks Ecological Reserve, where guests can observe harbour seals, elephant seals, Stellar sea lions, California sea lions, bald eagles, and other wildlife. The guide explains the rich intertidal and subtidal communities supported by strong tidal currents and points out the lighthouse with the Olympic Mountains in the background. Food and drinks are not included, nor are gratuities. The tour operates rain or shine but may be canceled if ocean conditions are unsafe; in that case, a reschedule or full refund is offered. Passengers must be at least six years old and over four feet tall. The tour is not suitable for pregnant women or those with pre-existing health conditions.
