Whale Watching in Vancouver: Why it's so Spectacular
Did you know the first whale watching tours in the world began in Vancouver? In the early 1900s, organized boat excursions took tourists to see the humpback whales in Howe Sound. Unfortunately, this early whale watching venture ended as the whaling industry decimated the humpback whale populations here. Over the last hundred years, our humpback whales have rebounded, and Vancouver’s rich whale watching history has made it one of the best places in the world to view these beautiful animals.
