    What To Expect

    SpringTide Whale Watching & Charters

    Check in 30 minutes before departure at our street-level office at 1119 Wharf Street. Once you're checked in, your Zodiac skipper will escort you down to the dock, where you'll gear up in a full-body flotation suit worn over your clothes. These cruiser suits help keep you warm and dry, but we still recommend dressing in warm layers, it’s always cooler out on the water, especially at speed! Get ready for an exciting and immersive ride close to the ocean’s surface. Once on the water, your adventure truly begins. With the wind in your face and the ocean spray at your side, your skipper will navigate the Salish Sea in search of whales and other marine life. You might encounter orcas, humpbacks, sea lions, harbor seals, porpoises, and a variety of seabirds. Your skipper will provide expert commentary throughout the journey, sharing insights about the animals, their behaviors, and the ecosystem they call home.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (8)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Victoria Whale Watching Tour by Zodiac?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
