| Whale Watching |
 |
There's no seagoing experience quite like watching, close-up, a sleek whale weighing thousands of pounds frolic like a child in it's natural habitat. Up and down the coast of British Columbia, from Victoria to Port Hardy on Vancouver Island up to the Queen Charlotte Islands, Orcas (killer whales), Gray whales and Humpback whales ply the waves and perform their watery rituals. |
| The Orcas |
| We anticipate the arrival of the northern resident orcas in late June with peak viewing from mid July into the second week of September. Some resident pods are still in the area in October. Their arrival coincides with the arrival and migration of salmon species heading east through Johnstone Strait to their spawning streams. It is with their arrival that we commence our whale watching tours and operate until late September. In recent years there has been an increase in Humpback Whale sightings in the core area to the effect that on most days last summer, July through September, one or more. |
| The Boat |
| The Explorathor and Explorathor Express, our 35 passenger semi-covered zodiac type vessels, are ideal for whale watching. The covered foreship features large sliding windows and comfortable seating. They are also coast guard inspected and maintained to the highest standards and
have the latest in communication and safety equipment. They are custom designed for marine wildlife viewing and offer an exhilarating ride with unparalleled safety, stability and performance. |
