Whale Watching BCOrcas, Greys, Humpbacks and Minke Whales
Not only is British Columbia the self titled "Best Place on Earth," it is also one of the most scenic and incredibly beautiful places to enjoy whale watching and Mother Nature at her very best. My family and I recently spent a week near Cabo San Lucas, Mexico (at a wonderful resort called the InterContinental El Presidente - ask for Christian Moguel for exceptional service) where we spent hours watching the migrating Grey whales from a beach on the Sea of Cortes. (We also went on an ATV tour and a sightseeing tour - what a blast! We recommend booking ahead and getting an exciting package for Cabo San Lucas adventures and enjoying whale watching under the wonderful Mexico sun.) While watching, I couldn't help but laugh thinking this is really nice, but we have some of the world's best whale watching opportunities back in British Columbia!
- Grey whales - Humpback whales, and - Minke whales These whales can be seen traveling and frolicking in the waters from Victoria on Vancouver Island, all the way up the coast to the beautiful Queen Charlotte Islands and beyond to Alaska.
Whale Watching Tours in BCWhile the British Columbia Government is very strict in establishing and enforcing rules to protect our amazing wildlife (unlike some places where I've seen site-seeing boats terrorize the whales and dolphins), a number of very reputable whale watching BC tour companies can be found in whale watching hubs, such as Victoria, Campbell River, Nootka Sound & Esperanza Inlet, Tofino, Ucluelet and Port Hardy.
Whether you live in British Columbia already, or are just visiting, and whether you scuba dive / snorkel or not, we highly recommend you experience one of British Columbia's amazing whale watching and scenic eco-tours.
We often forget how lucky we are to live in British Columbia.

Whale watching BC and eco-adventure tours in British Columbia are now attracting world-wide attention for divers and non-divers alike.
In fact, at various times throughout the year, you can usually see:
There is nothing more exciting than being the first to spot one of our whales breaching in the distance, a dorsal fin breaking the surface ahead, or seeing a whale swimming silently towards your whale watching BC boat, exhaling a cool plume of mist through their spout as they glide silently towards you.
