Whale Watching in Victoria
Whale Watching Photo Safari
The best whale watching is just outside Victoria as the pods have a migration pattern through the area.
Fly from Vancouver harbour to Victoria to join a three to three and a half hour long expedition to observe the wild Orcas of Haro Strait. This unique opportunity to see the magnificent animals in their home waters will give you an understanding that no aquarium can provide. Additional highlights are the seabirds, seals, and underwater kelp forests of the Pacific Northwest ocean ecosystem. You’ll also have time to explore Victoria and have lunch in one of the cafes.
