Half-Day Whale Watching

Telegraph Cove  |  May - October  |  Cruiser

Unforgettable experience We took the combined tour (whale watching and butchart gardens) split over 2 days. The first morning the captain took a 90mile round trip west where we saw 2 humpbacks, on the way back from Butchart cove the next afternoon the captain ( who had seen Orcas nearby the landing place) persevered for an hour and found them: 3 Orcas... what a magnificent sighting! The staff on both trips was unbelievably dedicated, really went the extra mile to make the experience for us unforgettable. Really highly recommended!

So much fun! This was so much fun! Our kids LOVED it and the crew were so kind and easy going. Lovely experience. We didn't see any whales but we had tons of laughs and saw some Sea Lions and seals, and breathtaking views. The ride itself was so fun we commented several times that we'd have done JUST that. Thanks again!

Fantastic We saw many orcas-the Naturalist -Wilma -was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They provide blankets and sunscreen and their hot drinks are complimentary. They guarantee that you will see whales, and if you don’t, you get to go again at no additional charge. Highly recommended.

Great Trip! Thanks to Roman and crew for a fabulous whale watching afternoon. Saw Orcas, humpbacks, stella sea lion, dolphins, and magic views of the water and islands.

Highly recommend.

10/10 Experience with Scotty leading the way Made memories to last a lifetime with Scotty taking us around the northern gulf islands in search of wildlife. We saw bald eagles, Dall's porpoises, countless orcas, and several humpbacks. We were spoiled rotten with a combination of luck and Scotty's expertise. He was extremely knowledgeable of the animals as well as the area, and you could not find someone with more passion and pure joy in their line of work than Scotty.

This experience exceeded all my expectations, and I thoroughly recommend it to anyone wishing to see some of the beautiful sea life surrounding the northern part of the island.

Thanks again Scotty!

A wonderful afternoon!! This was the highlight of our visit to Vancouver. And yes we did see Orcas!!! The weather was beautiful but cold. The boat has plenty of seating inside and out and provides hot drinks for free. This was a wonderful experience even without the whales. The views of the mountains, lake side homes and other wild life made the whole trip interesting. Would do it again, was just a great afternoon. The staff are friendly and informative and talk with such passion. It was just a thrill to see these lovely creatures.

Best trip on the water Right from the start - the ticket agents to the crew. Very friendly, helpful, cheery and fun. Always checking in and while on the boat - providing information and points of interest.

Whale of a time I took my friend who was visiting from the UK on this tour, we were both blown away. It was an incredibly windy morning and the water was turbulent but they made this very clear from the beginning and even offered you the chance to rebook. The rough seas only added to the experience for us. It was great fun.

We managed to find 2 groups of seal eating orca in the Howe Sound and watched then for some time.

Crew were fantastic from start to finish, you can really tell they have a love for their job and the whales they see on a daily basis.

I work in local tourism and will definitely be recommending this to my guests!!
Great job guys 😁

Superb Absolutely excellent experience. The staff are all highly professional and knowledgeable. They worked hard to ensure we found some whales and then spent a long time watching them and enjoying the experience for as long as possible. The team clearly love what they do and sharing it with visitors. Absolutely first class experience.

Wonderful afternoon Had a great 3 hour late afternoon trip. Staff were pleasant and informative. Spent time identifying individual whales and letting us listen to whales ‘talking ‘ by hydrophone. Spotted orcas and humpback and saw the biggest salmon ever in its natural habitat. Thank you Andy & staff for a memorable trip
