Whales are one of the widespread species inhabiting the waters around Vancouver Island.
Orca (killer) whales have the dominant population amongst Vancouver Island whales, and watching them breaching, splashing, and roaring is a year-round thing attracting many people to come to the Island whale watching hotspots, including Victoria. So, if your bucket list includes
whale watching, well prepare your passports to come to Vancouver Island and land in the capital of British Columbia, Victoria. Victoria whale watching is so much fun that nobody can say no to it. Besides, when you go on a whale watching tour in Victoria, although it is titled “whale watching,” you may encounter other oceanic creatures such as
sea lions, otters,
seals,
porpoises, and dolphins if you have the boots of lucky Lock!
Let’s picture what you are to experience here on Victoria whale watching tours for a second! Imaging the calm ocean, the birds are singing. Suddenly, something as big as a monster in fairy tales jumps out of the water and gets back in, hitting a 2000-pound body against the surface. And, in the end, the tail would splash the water. How much joy was injected into your vein just by picturing it? Not imaging how much it multiplies when it happens for real! There is a little distance between you and the ultimate whale watching experience, and that is contacting us to reserve your tour.
Salmon make the amazing trip upstream to spawn every year in Greater Victoria. During this season, go to
Goldstream Provincial Park to see the salmon run, a natural phenomenon in which millions of Pacific salmon make their way upstream. This tour usually begins in the middle of October and lasts for around nine weeks.
