Take an unforgettable orca watching tour and learn all about this fascinating species. Don't forget your camera or video camera to immortalize the experience!
The nutrient-rich waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca are a fertile feeding ground for ocean wildlife. Three pods of resident orcas or "killer whales" make this area their home during the summer months.
Imagine a 2-metre long dorsal fin breaking the surface close to your boat, as an 8-ton mammal comes up to the surface to breathe... It's a sight you will never forget!
You may also get the chance to see grey whales, minke whales, humpback whales, seals, sea lions and royal eagles.
You will be accompanied by friendly expert marine biologists and naturalist guides with Transport Canada Marine Safety certification.
