Vancouver Half-Day Whale Watching Adventure with Free Photos - How the 5 hours usually feel, from check-in to the return back to Duranleau St

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5,000 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $193Our pick

Vancouver half-day whale watching from Granville Island on a heated catamaran, with free wildlife photos and expert naturalists.

“Luxury compared to the small boats plus you’re a bit more above sea level so you can see the whales quite well. Our favorite was seeing and learning about the Humpbacks. Spotting their blowhole sprays and then watching the Tail flap at the end before they dive was great. Saw our first whales, a couple sets of Orcas, within 37 mins of leaving the dock. So, not a long boat ride at all while you’re seeking out the whales and seals n A little rainy at first but didn’t matter on these big catamaran ships. Very comfy and once the crew spotted wildlife they’d stop the boat so you always…”

Niagara Falls: Premium Tour, Boat & Journey Behind the Falls

3.Premium Tour, Boat & Journey Behind the Falls

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 4,207 reviews · 4 hours · from $152

Premium Canadian-side Niagara Falls tour with Hornblower boat ride, Journey Behind the Falls tunnels, and Skylon Tower views. Small group.

“Fantastic experience! We lucked out with the weather—‘Behind the Falls’ was a great warm-up to the boat tour, which delivered awe and spray in equal measure. Skylon offered stunning panoramic views, and thanks to clear skies, we even spotted the CN Tower. Carlos, our guide, was friendly, punctual, and safe, adding a few bonus stops. While views of the Old Scow and Dufferin Islands were brief, his cheerful guidance made up for it. Mid-week in mid-Sept meant minimal crowds, and with everything walkable (if you're fit), you could DIY for £50–£60. Still, having someone like Carlos to steer you with a smile was a plus. Best part? Meeting Larry and…”

Half-day coach tour from Quebec City to Montmorency Falls and Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, plus Ile d’Orléans chocolate and copper.

“If you want to see the falls & Saint Anne’s this is a good way to see them. Look around for the best price because some used a different source and paid much less than we did. The bus was excessively hot and we all were overdressed after coming out of the cold. The windows were dirty and seeing out or taking photos wasn’t great. I know it’s winter but the windows could’ve been washed. The tour guide David was good and informative. Ample time at each stop too.”
