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.
