Sunset whale watching from Victoria’s Inner Harbour with marine naturalists, hot drinks, jackets, and a shot at orcas.

“La prestation au coucher du soleil a été annulée et nous avons opté pour un nouveau créneau le matin. Nous n'avons pas été déçus ! Les baleines étaient au RDV 🥰 Le personnel est sympathique et le bateau est à taille humaine... 40 personnes, ça semble beaucoup mais reparti sur les différents ponts, c'est tout à fait agréable ! Bref, nous recommandons !”
