Sunset whale and wildlife cruises from Cowichan Bay with floatation suits, expert naturalists, and chances at humpbacks, orcas, seals, and more.
“This was my 3rd late afternoon/sunset whale watching trip with OceanEcoventures in the past year. I’ve loved every single one, as have my guests visiting from both France and Germany. Yesterday’s trip included sealions, harbour seals, a glimps of porpoise AND three families of Orca - 11 in all. It was so exciting. Even though I’m a local, these trips will be an annual adventure for my guests and I.”
Parksville sunset whale cruise in the northern Salish Sea, small-group care, marine photography tips, and guaranteed whale sightings.
“We saw several hump backs which was great. But the trip itself is also worth it. The boat is so much fun and the scenery is beautiful. Thanks Andy. So glad to book this”
Sunset Zodiac whale watching from Victoria on a fast, inflatable boat, guided by a naturalist, chasing orcas and humpbacks at golden hour.
“Fantastic experience! Cam was an amazing and knowledgable guide - props to him from “the Danish couple”👊. Coupled with amazing weather and encounters with humpbacks made for an unforgettable evening.”
Kayak Telegraph Cove for 2 hours at sunset, guided by naturalists. You might spot bald eagles, seals, sea stars, and more.
Two-hour Campbell River sunset boat tour with coffee and snacks, small-group Discovery Islands wildlife watching in English.
“Good reception, nice boat, nice people. We saw squirrel whales and sea lions, but the animals were hard to find. The captain was very quick to suggest us to return to the harbour and offered a new trip another day. However, this was not possible for us as we only had one day in Campbell River.Auto-translated”
Glow paddleboarding at dusk in Gordon Bay, Cowichan Lake, with RGB lights, music, and a calm guided route, plus snack options after.
“WOWWW!!! I’ve paddle boarded for years and years and years, but never experienced night paddling with glow lights attached to the board to light up the ocean beneath! Also following Josh with amazing music playing created an absolutely epic, peaceful, glorious journey on the water!”
Six time zones of days out, sorted by the kind of day.
