About Vancouver Island Whale Watch

Vancouver Island Whale Watch departs from Front Street on Nanaimo's downtown seawall for 3- to 5-hour tours of the Salish Sea. Guests choose between open Zodiac-style boats (Cascadia and Keta) and the semi-covered Kula, which has a cabin with windows and an open viewing platform. Orcas, humpbacks, grey and minke whales are the targets, along with seals, sea lions, porpoises and bald eagles. Public tours run March to October with private charters year-round; the adult fare is $219 CAD plus tax, and if no whale is seen guests receive a voucher for another trip.
