Review of Vancouver’s Wild Whale Watching Experience, including wildlife, open-air boat comfort, pricing, timing, tips, and who should book.
“This was a great tour. We saw a pod of orchas and a bunch of seals. It’s a much longer tour than you will think so take snacks. You will be given an orange waterproof jumpsuit to wear. We were thankful for them as it would have been freezing without them. It’s a long time on a boat for a short time of whale action, but most people understand this is what whale excursions entail. Boat was a nice size instead of a huge tour with so many people you can’t see. There was a restroom on board. Yaz was our naturalist and she was great!”

“Wow 🤩 we got to see whales 🐳 3 in total the team were amazing friendly helpful this was a dream come true for mum who has wanted to do whale watching for awhile and to think we actually got to see them was perfect highly recommend”
Review of Vancouver’s Eagle Eyes whale watching tour from Granville Island, with orcas, humpbacks, 360-degree views, practical tips, and value advice.
“Our naturalist Julia was excellent and super knowledgeable. I loved learning about humpback whale behaviours and how to identify them as we tracked the 3 we found during the excursion. I also loved seeing the harbour seals and learning about other marine wildlife like sea otters even though we didn't see them on our trip. I wish we could have stayed out in the northern sound longer to track them but acknowledge that our naturalist and captain tried their best. Overall an excellent experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat and will be recommending Wild Whales to all my friends, family and colleagues.”
