Wild Whale Watching Experience - Open Air Vessel
Description
We are Granville Island's pioneer (original) whale watching company. We offer intimate tours guided by marine naturalists who are passionate about wildlife and conservation. We do not attempt to influence the behaviours of the wildlife we encounter. Instead, we are able to observe animals behaving naturally and in their natural environment. The animals are never asked to perform. We contribute the data we collect toward marine based research and conservation initiatives. We are accredited as an authorized whale watching vessel and can legally approach wildlife closer than other vessels can, while still maintaining a respectful and safe distance.

Darko is an amazing name for a captain. They gave me a keychain for this review. I did enjoy the trip as well though, we saw a humpback really close and they were very cautious and turned off the engines.
Great day, saw orcas and humpbacks, and had a wild ride.
Very friendly, knowledgable staff, happy to answer questions and clearly love their jobs. Saw lots of whales and other wildlife. Had a good amount of time out on the boat allowing visitors the best chance of seeing whales!
Fantastic experience. Saw lots of Humpbacks and some noisy Sea Lions. Our naturalist Julia was a fantastic host, knowledgeable, passionate and entertaining. My daughter also lived the fast boat ride back to Vancouver at the end of the trip.
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled you had such a memorable experience seeing the humpback whales and lively sea lions. Julia will be delighted to hear your kind words about her passion and knowledge. We hope to have you aboard Wild Whales again in the future.
