Look for orcas, humpback whales, gray whales, dolphins, sea lions and harbor seals while listening to commentary from a marine naturalist guide. Suitable for all ages, this tour is recommended for families with children and infants.

Board a semi-covered catamaran at Granville Island
and head out to the Salish Sea
Arrive at the Wild Whales Vancouver office on Granville Island 45 minutes before departure for a safety briefing, then board Jing Yu, a custom-built semi-covered vessel. Sail leisurely across the beautiful waters of the Salish Sea for 3 to 5 hours with an expert crew.
Enjoy both a covered cabin and open decks

Jing Yu has a covered cabin that protects you from the wind and weather, and open decks at the front and back of the vessel. Rest in the cabin when it is chilly and step out onto the deck for a closer look when whales appear, making it comfortable for families with children and infants. There are restrooms on board, and you can choose a windbreaker or warm clothing to wear.
Look for whales and marine wildlife
