A three-hour open boat tour departing from Nanaimo, focused on witnessing the incredible marine life of British Columbia's coastal waters. Onboard a 12-passenger zodiac-style vessel, the experienced guide — with a background in biology — will navigate through the Gulf Islands archipelago, seeking out orcas, humpback whales, sea lions, and porpoises.
Before departure, you'll be fitted for anti-exposure suits designed to keep you warm and shield you from the elements. Wildlife sightings are highly expected; in the rare event you do not spot any whales, your next trip is complimentary. Expect to be at water level for an up-close encounter with the ocean's inhabitants.

This was an amazing experience. Being right on the water and observing the magnificent whales was unforgettable. I highly recommend it; it’s something I cherish and think back on with great fondness.
Our visit was fantastic. A marine wildlife specialist joined us, and we learned so much. We even spotted killer whales and humpback whales. I highly recommend this experience.
We had a fantastic experience from the moment we arrived to the tour itself, thanks to our guide and driver. We were lucky with what we saw, and the guide's education and answers to our numerous questions added to the experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Hayleigh and Dave on the 30th! We spotted many whales, orcas, and seals, and they shared some fascinating information with us. I strongly recommend the open tour boat for a great whale-watching experience.
The organization was fantastic. The staff was incredibly friendly, intuitive, and full of enthusiasm and passion. I was fortunate to follow a group of four humpback whales and encountered various other wildlife. It was an unforgettable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this and will definitely return in two years when I’m back in this beautiful area. Great job to everyone involved.
Rob and Vanessa, the crew, were incredibly friendly and well-informed. We encountered orcas during our trip, which was unforgettable. Indy was remarkable, breaching about six times. The open boat ride was enjoyable, and despite my initial nerves, it wasn't bumpy at all, making me feel safe.
Our whale watching adventure in Nanaimo was fantastic. A heartfelt thank you to our guide and the captain for ensuring smooth sailing. We encountered stunning marine life, and it was evident our guide knew the best spots for unforgettable sights and feelings. Grateful for an amazing trip.
I just returned from an extraordinary T party, which was truly the best experience of my life. Having taken several tours, I can say this was magical; watching two pods interact and perform in the wild is a unique occurrence. A huge thanks to Matt and Hailey, who were outstanding hosts!
We took a four-hour tour on a semi-covered boat with Aly and Rodrigo, and it was fantastic. We spent over an hour watching a family of Orcas, plus we spotted sea lions and humpback whales. The crew, particularly Aly, was enthusiastic and incredibly knowledgeable, even naming the Orcas. It exceeded our expectations.
The staff was exceptional, and the price was very reasonable. There was an abundance of wildlife, including many whales. The crew provided us with a wealth of information and made us feel at ease. It was a remarkable opportunity to observe these magnificent creatures up close. At the end of the day, we could access their daily blog and download professional photos without any additional cost.
