Covered Vessel Whale Watching
Cruise through BC’s coastal waters on a cozy covered vessel, and search for the whales, sea lions, and bald eagles that call the region home.
This 3-hour-long tour — which is carbon-neutral, we might add — is led by marine naturalists and offers a 95% success rate during whale season.
