    Whale Watching – Zodiac Boat

    Victoria

    Overview

    Pre-booking required

    Highlights:

    • Go in search of orcas of humpback whales, minke whales, grey whales, porpoises, harbour seals and other marine wildlife.

    Prepare for an exhilarating adventure as you board a custom-built Zodiac boat in search of magnificent sea life such as orcas, humpback whales, minke whales, grey whales, porpoises and harbour seals. The vessel is purposefully designed for high speed and exceptional stability, and you’ll be provided with cruiser suits to ensure a safe and unforgettable experience. Joining you on the adventure are certified marine biologists and naturalists, revealing insights about the wildlife, landscapes, and answering any of your questions. The route taken depends upon whale sightings and weather conditions. Typically, the journey will start at Victoria’s scenic waterfront and take us to Oak Bay and the Chain Islets to catch a glimpse of harbour seals and seabirds. Then, you’ll either travel east towards San Juan Island, or north along the Saanich Peninsula.

    Please Note: Not suitable for anyone with back or neck problems.
