Whale Watching

Committed to ethical & educational wildlife viewing, we are the first whale watching company established in BC, now in our 34th season. Based in Telegraph Cove, we offer tours through Johnstone Strait & Broughton Archipelago Area. Depending on the season, you may see Minke Whales, Harbour Porpoises, Dall's porpoise, Humpback Whales, Bears, Steller sea lions, various birds, Pacific white-sided dolphins, & our famous Orca (killer whales). Cruise in comfort in our 60 foot (17 metre) vessel MV Lukwa which has heated cabins & toilets, hydrophone (underwater microphone) so that you can hear the Orca vocalizations throughout the vessel.

First Class boats with comfortable price! Whales, Hot Springs, Bears, Marine Charters! Our boats: Wasco & Nanuq provide one of the best experiences in Tofino, BC! Both have warm inside seating for all, 3 outdoor viewing decks with seats, & each vessel has a restroom. This allows our guests to keep warm & dry or feel the wind in their hair & provides everyone a front row view of the wildlife!

White Rock Whale Watching

Departures from White Rock pier, well situated close to the San Juan & Gulf Islands, offering some of the most beautiful scenery & abundant natural wildlife in the world. From this strategic location, in the middle of the Orcas summer range that extends from Victoria to Vancouver harbour, combined with the vessel's high speed, whales are easily spotted in their natural habitat. As a member of a large & extensive spotting network we can reliably pinpoint the whales location most days.

We offer multi-day cruises through Haida Gwaii's (Queen Charlotte Islands') Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, Northern Vancouver Island, the Great Bear Rainforest, North Coast/ Khutzeymateen and Southeast Alaska. Our 68' vessels provide the perfect base from which to tour remote coastlines. On these world-class learning journeys we expect to see whales, bears, rich intertidal zones, and a great number of birds. With our First Nations guides we visit ancient villages, see totem poles and hope to catch a glimpse of the Kermode. Our experienced Crew and on-board naturalist will take you places that few have visited on our award-winning expeditions.
