whale watching and sight seeing

Spot dolphins at play, pods of whales, eagles soaring overhead, and all the marine life, birds, and land animals of British Columbia's coastal waters under the experienced guidance of Serengeti Charters.

Northern Vancouver Island and the surrounding smaller islands are home to a wide variety of sea and shore species. Aboard the Ms. Heather II or the Ms. Heather III, you'll want to keep your camera ready to capture the dolphins and orcas frolicking beside the boat, the eagles soaring overhead, and the occasional seal or sea lion.

Whale Watching & more

Resident and transient whale pods inhabit these waters. Your boat tour may give you the unforgettable experience of seeing a super pod of killer whales congregate to feed on salmon. Killer whales are so abundant in the area that it has become a center for the study of the species.

In addition to killer whales, you may see minke whales, gray whales, frolicking dolphins, porpoises, sleek seals and massive sea lions. Seabirds soar overhead or nest on the shore, like the cormorants shown below.

If you've always wanted to see eagles in their native habitat, you'll be rewarded by seeing these majestic raptors overhead, in the trees, or perched on rocky shoreline cliffs. All of the following photos were taken by Serengeti clients.

On the shore you can see black bears, grizzly bears in the mainland inlets, blacktail deer, sea otters and many species of seabirds.

With Serengeti Charters, you can also arrange a land tour to view Roosevelt Elk, the huge, world-famous black bears of Vancouver Island, Columbian blacktail deer, bald eagles, golden eagles, and countless species of birds - including the 'divers' shown above - all amid some of the world's most spectacular scenery.

When you book a whale watching or wildlife viewing charter with Serengeti, your accommodation and meals are included. You'll enjoy fresh Dungeness crab, followed by the fresh catch of the day - halibut, salmon, cod - or perhaps some of each. At night you'll sleep under a down duvet in a beautifully appointed room. At the end of the day, as you watch the wake trailing you home, you'll be savoring the experience of a lifetime - made even better by the hospitality of Serengeti Charters.
