Victoria BC whale watching charters : tours
Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.

Killer Whales (Orcas) and Humpback Whales are the biggest thrills provided by Victoria Whale Watching Tours. Both whales come and go, migrating to and from BC, eventually settling off the coast of Victoria, Canada.

Some migratory seasons, like May to October, the beautiful whale creatures venture closer to shore for feeding. But, from November to April, many of the whales begin a journey of migrating (transient whales) whiles others stay put and call the South Vancouver Island region home (resident whales).

One thing is for certain... that the connecting waters of the Juan de Fuca Strait and the Strait of Georgia near Victoria BC, Canada both carry powerful currents and have become a popular swimming route for Orcas, Humpbacks and Minke Whales. Routes leading to feeding grounds and in some cases to a favorite rubbing rock.

The Victoria area is a popular Whale Watching Tour destination with most tour companies operating from May to October. The vessels and guides vary. Some operators use zodiacs for speed and thrill, while other tour vessels provide padded seats, coffee, viewing decks and enclosed cabins. Your call, both provide a different type of whale watching tour. (more on whales)
