- British Columbia Whale Watching Tours -

BC whale watching is world class!

British columbia's magnificent coast is home for several species of whales: Orcas, Humpbacks, Minke and Gray whales as the main species. BC whale watching tours are conducted by powered vessels including Zodiacs, but whale watching tours are much more exciting and unforgettable by Sea kayak.

Kayaking with Orcas:

Sighting a grey whale on a whale watching tour Coastal Spirits whale watching tours start with high speed catamaran transport from Quadra Island and Campbell River to the Orca base camp located beside Robson Bight, the killer whale reserve and rubbing beaches. Our sea kayak whale watching tours take advantage of the regular orca playing grounds and migration locations and for this reason we can guarantee whale sighting while on one of our tours.

Our whale watching tours focuses on both resident and transient pods of orcas. Resident Orcas travel in large pods in the waters of Johnstone Strait. These friendly and smart animals are curious and quite often approach our kayaks. Transients travel in smaller groups over large areas of the coast and eat marine mammals instead of the fish favoured by the resident orcas. Our sea kayaking tours take you to see these whales as they move through Johnstone Strait.
