READ OUR TESTIMONIALS

“We were blown away. Not only did we see 4 humpback whales, 1 orca, a bald eagle and a ton of seals, we learned a lot about the marine ecosystem around Vancouver and the animals that call this place home. We’d highly recommend and will definitely be coming back.”

“So glad we chose this team to experience the whale watch. […] If you have a desire to whale watch, there is no better group to give you the experience to remember!”

Reuvy - Trip Advisor

“We had near-perfect weather conditions on our journey out to through the Georgia Strait, and once we were approaching a calm Bay Area, […] our excellent guide told us our captain […] was charting the route of five Orcas. The next hour we experienced some of the most incredible moments of our lives as we watched the Orcas breach the water time and time again.”

Hammy Scotlan - Trip Advisor

“[Our guide and captain] were wonderful and made sure everyone was comfortable, safe, and they also spoke about the importance of conservation and respecting wildlife, which I loved. Tourism and people, in general, can be very harmful to local wildlife so I was very happy that Wild Whales Vancouver is doing their best to make a positive impact.”

“Best (Whale Watching) Company in Vancouver (and the whole world), for sure!! […] I have never written a review in my entire life before, but the performance of you guys and the love for what you are doing really motivated me to do so.”

I loved it! We saw two different pods of Orcas and got to see them successfully hunting. It was AMAZING!

We did the open air tour with Pascal and Aaron yesterday and all I can say is, Wow!! They did an amazing job educating us and finding every opportunity to let us see the whales and other wildlife in action. A truly unforgettable experience!! And cherry on top, a portion of your ticket goes to ocean conservation research. If you are visiting Vancouver or a local, this is a must do!!

Jeniece M. - Yelp

Such an amazing experience! If you are hesitating, JUST DO IT! To see these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat, with exceptionally brilliant and passionate guides, is an experience you won’t ever forget or regret!

Sarah N. - Yelp

MUST SEE!  Such a great experience. If you have never done this before you should go! We were so lucky to watch 2 humpbacks for close to an hour. It was amazing. Saw a couple more along the way. Also seals and a bald eagle.
The boat ride alone would have been worth the cost!

Angela L. - Trip Advisor

Got Orcas? My 20 year old son and I took a trip to Vancouver and decided that whale-watching had to be on our to-do list and this did not disappoint. Felicity, our guide and Aaron, our captain did a great job of navigating our trip to see 3 orcas that we followed for about an hour; such a spectacular thing to see out in the wild. We also saw seals sunning themselves on the rocks. I would definitely recommend this trip and this company.
