    Vancouver Sunset Whale Watching Tour

    Ease into the evening aboard our luxury catamaran, Salish Sea Freedom or Dream, as we depart Vancouver’s False Creek. This 3-4 hour tour is a photographer’s favourite and a relaxing way to end the day as the sun sets over the Salish Sea.

    Departing from Downtown Vancouver (Granville Island) aboard one of our Salish Sea class catamarans (95-person capacity), this adventure will take you on a 3- to 5-hour, fully-guided whale watching & marine wildlife viewing tour. A photographer's favourite tour, watch whales during the "golden hour" and return to Vancouver during the west coast's best sunset.

    What to Bring:

    It gets cold out on the water (trust us!), so we recommend windbreaker jackets, sweaters, long pants and closed-toe shoes. It’s also a good idea to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, a tight-fitting hat, a camera and binoculars to capture some memorable moments,  and, above all, your sense of adventure!

    Onboard snacks are available for purchase ALSO complimentary hot cocoa, water, tea & coffee are available.
