Whale Watching in Canada
Close encounters with the kings of the sea
Canada is the perfect place for whale watching! Whale watching trips by boat are popular all over the world, and Canada offers its own spectacular opportunities for close encounters with these marine giants. Witnessing a huge whale erupt through the surface of the water is an incredible and unforgettable experience.
Organized whale watching tours usually range from a couple of hours to a full day adventure. Tour companies supply the boat, guides and related services for the experience. Adventurers travel to the destination of their choice and arrange their own accommodation, often combining a whale watching tour with other experiences and sightseeing in the area.
Whale watching trips are generally inexpensive, and offer an amazing opportunity to see and learn about the marine environment. Surrounded by three ocean coasts, Canada offer a variety of destinations and whale types to see.
The Arctic is a popular destination for seeing the elusive narwhal whale, the 'unicorn' of the sea. Whale enthusiasts visit the east coast for Minke, humpback, right and finback whales. British Columbia is known for its resident killer and gray whales.
