Overview

This four-hour whale watching day trip departs from Vancouver, British Columbia, traveling by boat to the Gulf Islands and San Juan Islands. A professional guide and a tour escort accompany guests throughout the trip, providing information about whales, other marine mammals, and the surrounding environment. Life jackets and Mustang Survival flotation suits are provided for safety and warmth; suits are available in one- and two-piece styles and in sizes from XS to XXXL. The itinerary does not include scheduled stops on the islands, as these depend on weather, animal locations, and operational factors. Food and drinks are not included, and gratuities are not covered. Guests should dress in layers and prepare for changing weather conditions by bringing waterproof footwear, warm clothing, and rain gear if possible. The trip is not recommended for pregnant guests or those in poor health. Children must be at least six years old unless the manager approves younger children at booking.
