Vancouver Half Day Whale Watching

Guests are encouraged to bring a reusable water bottle and/or a coffee tumbler for free refills. It’s a good idea to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, a tight-fitting hat, a camera to capture some memorable moments and, above all, your sense of adventure!

Windbreaker jackets, sweaters, long pants, and closed-toe shoes are recommended as it can be cold out on the water.

There is no better time of day! Unlike humans, whales do not follow a strict daily schedule, so their behavior varies throughout the day. You are just as likely to see whales on our morning tour as on the afternoon and evening tours. Additionally, the time of year can also affect whale activity, as different species migrate to different areas at different times of year or change their behaviors due to mating or other considerations. The whale watching season in Vancouver typically runs from April to October, with the peak season occurring from May to September.
