Wild Whales Vancouver

1806 Mast Tower Lane · Vancouver, BC

Why you should go…

Wild Whales Vancouver has run whale watching tours from Granville Island since 2003, departing from 1806 Mast Tower Lane. Trips last three to five hours depending on where the whales are found and look for Bigg's orcas and humpback whales along with seals, sea lions, porpoises and bald eagles. Guests choose between a partly sheltered boat, an open-air vessel and small-group zodiacs. The season runs from April 1 to October 31, with the most departures between late May and late September.

Good to know

General tours guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Confirm the meeting point

    It is often a corner, a lobby, or a dock rather than the address you searched for. Check it the night before.

  • Small groups fill first

    In high season the intimate departures sell out well before the big-bus options do.

  • Ask how much is on foot

    Knowing how much of the route is walking, standing, or outdoors tells you what to wear and carry.

  • Read the weather policy

    Cancellation windows and rain rules vary by operator, and they are easier to find before you pay than after.
