Overview

  • 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 towards marine based research and conservation initiatives. We are accredited as an authorised whale watching vessel and can legally approach wildlife closer than other vessels can, while still maintaining a respectful and safe distance.

Activity itinerary

Departing from historic Granville Island, your 3-5 hour journey starts by offering unparalleled views of Vancouver from the water. As you head out of English Bay and into the Strait of Georgia, we will be on the search for orca (killer whales), humpback, minke, and/or grey whales. Along your cruise, we are also looking for a variety of additional wildlife species, including; Steller and California sea lions, harbour or Dall's porpoises, harbour seals, bald eagles, great blue herons, and many other seabird species. Your adventure is professionally guided by a marine naturalist. They will share insight on animal behaviour, providing you with a fun and educational experience. You will learn about the wildlife, ecology, history, and geography of our local waters, with a particular emphasis on marine conservation. This tour is on Eagle Eyes, our open-air vessel. This boat offers an unrestricted 360° view of the surrounding water and wildlife. Guests booked on Eagle Eyes will get a full-length anti-exposure suit to provide shelter from any elements you might encounter on your adventure!
