Vancouver Whale & Wildlife Watching Catamaran Cruise - Photo Package Included

Board a catamaran at Granville Island
and head out to the Salish Sea

Your whale and marine wildlife tour begins aboard a custom-built, high-speed catamaran departing from Granville Island in downtown Vancouver. Once underway, stay in the heated cabin or pick one of the three outdoor viewing decks on the upper level for the best photo spots.

Look for whales and marine wildlife

Keep an eye out for orcas, humpback whales, minke whales and gray whales, as well as dolphins and seals. The crew provides live onboard commentary on the history, geology and marine life of the area. Along the way, take in the scenery of the Strait of Georgia and views of the Gulf Islands, the San Juan Islands and Howe Sound.

Capture special moments with the photo package

High-resolution photos of you and the wildlife are taken during the tour free of charge. Hot coffee, tea and hot chocolate are provided, and snacks are available for purchase on board. A Junior Naturalist guide (an educational coloring book for kids) and a downloadable tour guide (English, Spanish, French, German and Dutch) are also available.

Choose a half-day or sunset tour

Choose between a daytime half-day tour and a sunset tour where you can watch the sun set over the water. The tour lasts 3 to 5 hours depending on various factors such as the weather and whale activity.

※ Wildlife lives in its natural habitat, so sightings are not guaranteed.
※ According to the operator's policy, if you do not see whales on your first tour, you can join another tour.
※ Sunset views may vary depending on the weather.
