Ocean EcoVentures Whale Watching Tours are based out of Cowichan Bay & Parksville. Known for the "Highest Orca Sightings in British Columbia!".

Ocean EcoVentures is the most centrally located operator on the Island, they provide easy access to the rich marine life of the Salish Sea.

Their small-group tours, capped at just 12 guests, create a more intimate and personal experience on the water. With longer tour times and a focus on the entire ecosystem, you’ll have the chance to see orcas, humpbacks, sea lions, eagles, and more, all while learning from passionate, certified captains who prioritize safety and education.

Founded in 2003, Ocean EcoVentures is deeply rooted in conservation. They are committed to responsible, ethical wildlife viewing and actively support research and local conservation initiatives.

They also offer a whale sighting guarantee with an impressive 98% success rate, meaning if you don’t see a whale, you can come back again for free!
