Vancouver Whale Watch — Original & Most Experienced Whale Watching Tours from Steveston, BC

Established in 1998, Vancouver Whale Watch is the longest-running whale watching operator in Greater Vancouver, departing from the charming historic fishing village of Steveston in Richmond, BC. Each 3–5 hour whale watching tour travels through the spectacular Gulf Islands and the Strait of Georgia, delivering consistently high marine wildlife viewing, with a remarkable 98% sighting success rate.

Boasting a fleet of expedition-style Zodiac vessels, both open/semi-covered and small, adventurous options, these tours offer both comfort and immersive thrills. Passengers are guided by professional wildlife naturalists, transforming each trip into a floating classroom, rich with West Coast ecosystem knowledge. The onboard experience emphasizes science, conservation, and education, paired with a fun and professional atmosphere.

Unique to Vancouver Whale Watch is the Sight Unseen Guarantee, if you don’t spot whales (Orcas or Humpbacks) on your first trip, you can return for free, for life, with no expiry or transferability.

Tours also feature complimentary snacks and water, hydrophones for real-time whale sound detection, and convenient shuttle service from Vancouver and Richmond, plus on-site parking.
