Activity itinerary

Juan de Fuca Marine Trail
Head to the Victoria wharf to board your 61-foot (19-meter) motor yacht, the Marauder IV, which holds up to 84 passengers and features comfortable seating and a smooth, quiet ride. Meet your naturalist guide and head out from the harbour, cruising into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the body of water separating Canada's Vancouver Island from the United States.
SpringTide Whale Watching & Charters
As you cruise, your guide will help you spot the variety of whales that live in these Pacific waters, including orcas, grey whales, humpback whales and minke whales. Keep your eyes open for other marine life, too, like sea lions, elephant seals, harbour seals and sea birds. You may even catch sight of a bald eagle. During your journey, listen to your guide's informative, expert commentary about the biological and ecological features of the whales and their ocean environment. If you have any questions, ask away! And if the conditions are right, the boat's hydrophones can pick up and amplify the beautiful sounds of the orcas as they communicate with each other, giving you the amazing opportunity to hear the song of the whales. If you get chilly, head inside the spacious heated cabin and warm up with a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate. You can keep watching for whales through the windows. Your tour ends with return to the wharf.
