This tour offers a unique chance to see marine wildlife in their natural habitat, including humpback whales, killer whales, seals, sea lions, porpoises, and eagles.

It’s a safe, reliable way to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Howe Sound.
During the 2-hour tour, your guide will share fascinating insights into the area's history and ecology. You’ll also enjoy complimentary hot drinks and snacks as you soak in the breathtaking scenery. Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable adventure, this tour offers a perfect blend of education, relaxation, and spectacular views.
