Whale Watching/Marine Wildlife
Tours
 Nearly
all Northern Vancouver Island communities have tour operators
who provide Whale and Wildlife Watching Boat Tours. If you
want to be sure to see Whales during your visit to our region
I highly suggest going on a tour. High Season is

wildlife to see on these boat tours.

SAIL WITH
THE WHALES 
This company offers eco-friendly tours and food.
You will have your
choice of a sailing vessel (14 passenger) or a open motor
cruiser.
Fresh baked organic
muffins and “Devonshire Tea” – scones, whipped
cream, jam, organic Earl Grey tea. Baked goods are freshly
prepared during the voyage. I would go just for the food!
The tranquil experience with nature and wildlife is offered
in a 5 hour or an 8 hour tour, departing from Alert
Bay or the Port McNeill
area. Please note: the boat motors to the area where
the whales are and only sails if the weather conditions are
appropriate. This company also has an open 40' vessel that
is ideal for larger group booking.
4 Hour tour in motor
cruiser
5 Hour cruise aboard
