Steveston Seabreeze Adventures is a whale watching company based in the historic fishing village of Steveston, BC. We offer sea lion and eco-tours as well as fishing charters. Our trained naturalists will guide you through the breathtaking Gulf Islands in search for killer whales, gray whales, humpback whales, sea lions and pacific white-sided dolphins! Our semi-enclosed vessels offer you the best of both worlds, outside back and upper viewing decks and a protected inside cabin. We only take 23 passengers per vessel so the is plenty of room to walk around with a 360 degree views. New for 2017 we have an open 12 passenger vessel. Ask about our shuttle and guaranteed sightings!

So where do the humpbacks go now? 🐋

After spending the warmer months feeding and building up energy reserves, many of the humpbacks we see in the Salish Sea begin heading south.

Their destination? Warmer breeding and calving grounds, with whales from our region travelling to places including Hawaii and Mexico, journeys of thousands of kilometres.

But there’s no mass departure date. Humpbacks leave at different times, and some can still be found in BC waters during the winter.

For the whales that do migrate, months of feeding up here have an important purpose: those energy reserves help sustain them through migration and their time on the breeding grounds, where feeding is limited.

And eventually, many will make that enormous journey north again. We really hope to see you next season travellers 🌎🐋

Our Extended Zodiac Adventure was such a hit that we’ve opened bookings for 2027 early!

Spend 6–7 hours exploring the Salish Sea aboard our Zodiac, with a small group, dedicated captain and knowledgeable guide. More time on the water means more time to explore, search for wildlife, take in the coastline, ask questions and capture whatever the day brings 📸 🌊

With responsible wildlife viewing at the heart of all that we do, this is an adventure designed for whale enthusiasts, wildlife lovers, and photographers who want a little more time to experience the Salish Sea.

If that sounds like your kind of day, 2027 Extended Zodiac Adventures are now booking at www.seabreezeadventures.ca 💙

What did the Salish Sea teach us this year? 🌊

That no matter how many days you spend out here, you never really know what the next one will bring.

We met new individual whales. Saw familiar families and faces return. Watched feeding, travelling, hunting, resting, and plenty of behaviour that had us asking our naturalists “okay…so what are they doing now?” 😂

And we got to experience it alongside thousands of guests. People seeing their first whale. Asking questions we hadn’t thought of. Getting excited about the first glimpse of a dorsal fin. And heading back to shore knowing a little more about the wildlife living here in the Salish Sea.

2026 reminded us that there is always more to notice, more to learn, and more worth protecting.

One photo from every month of our 2026 whale watching season. Sounds easy right? It absolutely was not 😂

With thousands of photos and so many incredible moments captured by our team throughout the season, choosing just one to represent each month was a challenge, and there are sooooo many more we wish we could squeeze into this post!

Looking back through the year is also a great reminder of just how many people make a Seabreeze season happen.

Our naturalists who bring the Salish Sea to life with their knowledge and enthusiasm. Our captains who get us out there safely and responsibly. Our office team keeping everything running behind the scenes. Our photographers, crew, and everyone else who puts so much into every single trip.

And, of course, every guest who chose to spend part of their year exploring the Salish Sea with us 💙

We feel incredibly lucky to have this team, to work in this place, and to share it with all of you.

Here’s to just a handful of the moments that made 2026 one to remember 🌊🐋

NEW THIS WINTER! 🐦 🌊 Whether you’re a lifelong birder or simply someone who loves watching wildlife, this one’s for you.

Once a month from November through March, we’ll be heading out from Steveston for 3–4 hours exploring the Salish Sea, searching for the incredible birdlife that makes its way to our waters during the winter months.

From diving seabirds and wintering waterfowl to raptors soaring overhead, winter brings a whole new side of the Salish Sea to discover 🦅 📸

And whether you’ve been birding for decades, have only recently fallen in love with birds, or just want an excuse to grab your binoculars and spend a winter morning surrounded by wildlife, you belong on this trip.

There’s no set route either. Each adventure will be shaped by seasonal bird activity, recent sightings, tides and conditions, so every month gives us somewhere, and something, new to explore.

Bundle up, bring your binoculars and camera, and come see what winter on the Salish Sea has waiting for us 💙

🐦 One trip per month · November–March
⏱️ 3–4 hours · 10 AM departure
🎟️ $109 per person
📍 Steveston, BC

Our first-ever Winter Birding Adventures are NOW BOOKING!

BC locals, consider this your sign to explore your own backyard before whale watching season ends 👀🐋

It’s easy to forget just how wild this place is when you get to call it home.

Humpbacks feeding before their migrations. Bigg’s killer whale families travelling through the Salish Sea. Sea lions arguing over the best spot on the rock. Mountains in every direction.

You don’t have to travel far to experience something pretty extraordinary — it’s happening right here.

And now there’s just ONE WEEK LEFT of our 2026 whale watching season! 🥹 Our final tours head out on October 31.

BC locals — don’t forget to give us a call to receive your locals discount 💙

One last adventure in your own backyard? Count us in.

Salish Sea Outtakes 😂 🌊

We couldn’t do a 2026 recap without including some of the photos that made us chuckle along the way.

The expressions. The poses. The impeccable timing.

A few moments captured by our team this season that still make us chuckle every time they pop up in the camera roll.

Which one gets your vote? 👀

If the Salish Sea had a speed limit, the orcas would be getting the ticket 💨

Humpbacks might be enormous, but they’re generally built for efficient cruising rather than speed. When they need to move though, they can reach roughly 24–27 kmh (15–17 mph) in short bursts 🐋

Orcas take things up just a notch. Built to pursue fast-moving prey, they can reach around 48 km/h (30 mph) in short bursts 🖤🤍

Neither is travelling at top speed all day, of course, but when you see either of them suddenly accelerate, you get a pretty incredible reminder of just how powerful these animals are!

Which one surprised you more? 👀

October 3 Trip Recap 🦭

We spent part of the day with Forge, the 2022 calf of Anvil, and friends as they travelled through the Salish Sea — with a few spyhops giving us a rare look at their rostrums (noses) as they lifted their heads above the surface.

And over on the rocks? The Steller sea lions had important business of their own: loudly negotiating who, exactly, deserved the best spot 😂

Only a few weeks remain in our 2026 season, with tours running through October 31. Come see what your own day on the Salish Sea has in store 🌊
