Best Whale Watching Victoria Tour Companies
There are quite a few whale watching tour companies that offer marine wildlife tours and whale watching from Victoria.
While you can see the transient orcas, and other whales by boat, kayak or plane, or even the ferry, we recommend taking a boat tour for the more up close and unique views.
- Zodiac Boat Tour – Choose zodiac tours if you want a smaller group, have older kids or don’t mind being more exposed to wind, and water. It gives you a more unique and personal feel being at ocean level.
- Covered Boat Tour – Choose a covered boat tour, if you prefer a warm place to escape the elements, don’t mind a larger group, or have younger kids you need to keep an eye on. They also have toilets, which is handy. If you get seasick, a larger catameran boat is the better option, as it will be more stable.
Popular whale watching companies in Victoria are:
- Prince of Whales – *most popular*
- Orca Spirit Adventures
- Five Star
- Spring Tide
- Eagle Wing
They typically leave from downtown Victoria and the Inner Harbor area. These companies all have great success rate in finding wild whales, and orcas in the coastal waters, over 80 to 95% of the time.
They know the best places to look, and communicate with other boats as to where the whales have been sighted that day.

Types of Whale Watching Tours
By Boat
The best and easiest way to see whales is to take zodiac or covered boat whale-watching tours from Victoria, BC Canada.
As mentioned earlier, there a few things to consider when choosing which type of boat.
Zodiac Boat Tour
Choose a zodiac boat tour if you want a smaller group, have older kids (6+ years) or don’t mind being more exposed to wind, and water. It gives you a more unique and personal feel being at ocean level.
These small inflatable boats hold up to 12 People and tend to be less expensive.
Covered Boat Tour
Choose a covered boat tour, if you prefer a warm place to escape the elements, don’t mind a larger group, or have younger kids you need to keep an eye on. They also have toilets, which is handy.
If you get seasick, a larger catameran boat is the better option, as it will be more stable.
Both types of boats allow you to get close to whales. There are rules in place for the safety and protection of the whales as to how close the boats can get, and the tour operators follow these carefully.
By Air
A plane or helicopter tour can potentially allow you to see more whales, as you can cover more area of the sea.
This would provide a unique perspective, of both Vancouver Island and marine wildlife. However you won’t get as close.
By Kayak
If you are an experienced kayaker, renting a kayak, and heading out on the ocean, is a great way to see whales up close at their level. But they can be quite far from shore.
Definitely not for beginners, or those without any kayaking experience.
By Ferry
I love the BC ferry ride from Victoria to Vancouver and it’s my favorite way to see orcas.
There’s no guarantee, but they can often be seen as the ferry passes between the Gulf Islands.
From Land
There are times when you can see pods of Orcas or Humpback Whales, and other marine mammals from the shore.
The breakwater is a great place to walk, and often you can see harbour porpoises in the distance.
I’ve even seen whales from Willows Beach (one of our favourite parks / beaches in Victoria) on occasion.
Check out Race Rocks Lighthouse, as Orcas sometimes gather around here, and you can often see sea lions on the rocks.
What to Wear Whale Watching
Being out the water you will be exposed to the elements; wind, sun, rain, spray from the water. It’s best to wear layers. Wear a sweater, wind / waterproof jacket, warm socks, and appropriate closed toe footwear (no flip flops!).
Even on sunny summer days, it can be cool on the water.
If taking a Zodiac Tour, the company usually provide survival suits for you to wear. In open boats, tours often also provide jackets and rain pants. Check to see what your tour will provide.
Make sure to bring a plastic bag or other waterproof case to keep your camera safe and dry.
