Activity description

Bundle up and board the 4 Ever Wild, a covered catamaran that will take you to the landscapes and wildlife of the Salish Sea!

From November to April, the changing seasons bring new landscapes, as well as migratory movements of animals in the Salish Sea. Rain, shine or snow, don't miss the opportunity to enjoy a great show when you embark with Eagle Wing Tours in Victoria, on Vancouver Island, to sail on the Salish Sea and meet the whales and other animals of the region!

At this time of the year, there is no guarantee that you will encounter whales, but the Eagle Wing Tours crew will do their best to make it happen, even if it means extending the trip by 30 minutes or 1 hour. Generally, the boat encounters whales up to 80% of the time, which gives you a great chance to see some! In addition, you will be able to see other marine mammals such as orcas, sea lions or seals, as well as many birds living in the area, while listening to the information provided by the crew throughout the trip.

The Eagle Wing Tours team is very concerned about the environment and its preservation. By booking a boat tour with them, you contribute to the protection of the Salish Sea's fauna and flora. Located between the major cities of Vancouver and Seattle, this is a large marine area to be conserved! So if you want to see whales near Vancouver and if you care about the environment, book your boat trip with Eagle Wing Tours!
