Whale Watching in BC Canada

There are few sights more thrilling than whales in their natural environment, and the waters off the coast of British Columbia are rich with marine life.

British Columbia’s whale-watching vessels take people onto the ocean to spot orcas, humpback whales, grey whales, and minkes, and along the way often come across seals, sea lions, porpoises, and bald eagles.
