You can go whale watching from downtown
Vancouver or from Victoria.
If
you choose to whale watch from downtown Vancouver, you are only 15
minutes from the whale watching dock from most Vancouver hotels. These
3-7 hour Vancouver whale watching excursions take you into the Gulf of
Georgia and beyond, in search of the southern resident Orca pods. The
length of the trip depends on the location of the whales that day.
Whale Watching Photo
Safari

Additional highlights are the seabirds, seals, and underwater kelp forests of
the Pacific Northwest ocean ecosystem. Additional time to explore Victoria, the
capital of British Columbia, is available at no extra charge.
