Tour Overview

Combine breathtaking seaplane travel with one of British Columbia’s most unforgettable wildlife experiences. Your adventure begins with a scenic flight from Vancouver Harbour, soaring above the Salish Sea and Southern Gulf Islands before landing in Victoria’s picturesque Inner Harbour.

From there, join an experienced crew and knowledgeable marine naturalists for a three-hour whale watching excursion through the waters surrounding southern Vancouver Island. Keep watch for majestic orcas, humpback whales, harbour seals, sea lions, porpoises, bald eagles, and a variety of other marine wildlife while learning about the region’s unique ecosystem and ongoing conservation efforts.

Following your whale watching adventure, enjoy free time to explore Victoria’s beautiful Inner Harbour before returning to Vancouver by seaplane. Prefer to stay longer? Extend your visit overnight and return on a later scheduled flight, giving you the flexibility to experience Victoria at your own pace.
