Our Location

We are located at #105, 2537 Beacon Ave in Sidney, British Columbia. Our dock is just a ten minute drive from the Swartz Bay Ferry terminal, making us the closest whale watching operation to the ferry. We offer a free shuttle service to and from the ferry for any booking of 2 or more. Choosing to take your tour with us out of Sidney has many advantages:

• We have been locally owned and operated for over 15 years!
• Our departure point in Sidney is located in the middle of the Orca whales foraging grounds which gives us more whale watching time and less traveling.
• We are surrounded by the Gulf Islands which are home to a large variety of marine life.
• Our friendly, knowledgeable skippers have been doing tours for many, many years!

Our office is open everyday from March until November. Guests may phone everyday including holidays to make reservations or for more information.

Please call us locally at, 250-655-9256 or toll free in Canada and the U.S. at 1-888-656-7599.

Humpback Whale

While our office is not open full-time in the winter, kayaks are rented out and reservations are taken year round.

Our vessels

K-Ko (pronounced Kay-ko) is our 29 foot walk-around-seating aluminium prototype vessel. It is named after the famous Orca from the movie Free Willy.

Keiko the whale was originally captured and kept in Mexico but was later transferred to Newport, Oregon for rehabilitation and then eventually to Iceland to his ocean pen. After his release Keiko did swim free again for a short period of time until he died of natural causes just off the coast of Scandinavia.

K KO

The vessel K-Ko is extremely sea worthy and designed specifically for wildlife viewing. Guests can stand up and move around the vessel and personally speak with the guide or take photos from whatever angle the animals may come from. Extremely stable, it is an exceptional platform for video or still photography. K-Ko is washroom equipped and comfortably seats 12 passengers. In addition, K-Ko is an excellent choice for seniors and children as it has the additional room to move around on and absorbs the wake kindly.

Our recently purchased Zodiac is making its debut this summer! After having taken over Emerald Sea whale watching we are pleased to announce the addition of this boat to our fleet. The additional boat will allow for multiple tours at a time!
