    Such an awesome experience! This was my Mother’s Day gift. We saw a few humpback whales and got to watch them for an hour. Such a cool experience. The sea lions and seals were a bonus at the end. I would 100% recommend this place!

    This activity was a great experience. Despite hearing from the Naturalists that the height of whale migration is in June, we did manage to see a family of resident orcas, including one named "Chainsaw"! We left out of Steveston, BC and the boat was large enough to conquor the open water. We had one that was covered so it made the rainy day a bit more tolerable too. Staff were very friendly and informative. One guy was there on his day off which speaks to the type of company Vancouver Whale Watching is. I would definitely recommend using this company again.

    Superb trip, we were lucky enough to see a pod of Orca’s hunting a seal. Scenery was breathtaking. Fantastic
