Vancouver Whale Watch - Scenic Whale Watching Adventures

Whale Watching in Vancouver British Columbia with Vancouver Whale WatchVancouver Whale Watch is our favorite attraction in Vancouver (besides scuba diving in and around Vancouver) and our favorite whale watching company for viewing orcas, greys, humpbacks, and more.

They are located in the quaint former fishing village of Steveston, which is about 30 minutes from downtown Vancouver.

You should plan a leisurely full day where you can wander around the pier/docks, check out the fresh catch of the day from the fishing boats, and enjoy fresh local treats from the numerous shops, prior to (or after) embarking on your exciting whale watching adventure.
