Most eco-tour/whale watching companies depart from Victoria. The thing is, all the animals hang out up the coast of Victoria! This means that when you depart from downtown Victoria (where most of the other companies are based), you spend a lot of time traveling out of the Inner Harbour of Victoria, rounding the southern tip of the Island, and making your way up to where most of the animal sightings take place close to us!

Sea Quest is located just outside of Victoria, on the Saanich Peninsula. Our departure point in Sidney BC is smack in the middle of “the zone” for wildlife in this area. When you depart from our location, you get to skip the travel time and:

• See wildlife almost immediately as there are a myriad ofsmaller islands en route.
• Experience calmer waters for the whole trip, since our location is sheltered.

Just because we’re outside of Victoria, doesn’t mean we’re out in the boonies, either:

• 10 min from Victoria Airport (YYJ)
• 10 min from BC Ferries Tswassen
• 15 min to the Butchart Gardens
• On major public transit routes.
• SIDNEY! This place is awesome. Pedestrian-oriented. Simple. Amazing.
