Whale Watching

The protected waters and passageways of coastal British Columbia have long been a haven for whales, making it an ideal destination for whale watching in Canada. Witness resident orca pods feeding at the surface and migratory humpback whales passing by in endless groups. Should you travel to Churchill, Manitoba, there are even more opportunities to see humpbacks and belugas.
