Steveston Seabreeze Adventures is a whale watching company based in the historic fishing village of Steveston, BC. 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 p
rotected 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!

Check out the nails on this big boy 💅
Steller Sea Lions' hindflippers have cartilaginous rods that extend the length of each toe. The bones of the three central toes terminate at the position of the small nails that emerge through the skin.
The perfect length for a good scratch!

The lions of the sea! 🦁
The impressive thick mane of this male Steller Sea Lion bares a recent battle wound but from his triumphant stance, we can guess who is champ 🏆

The Vancouver skyline was an impressive backdrop for a recent encounter!
Did you know? Being located in Steveston, our tours have a large range, as far North as Howe Sound & Nanaimo, all the way to the South side of the San Juan Islands in the USA!
It helps us maintain our 97% sighting success rate!

Hanging with the cool kids of the rock 😎
These young Steller Sea Lions have a lot of life ahead of them as males can live up to 20 years old, while females can live to approximately 30 years old! Lots of time to chill on the rocks! 🤘

Magic surface floating Seals! ✨
No they can't walk on water, probably because they can't walk ! but they're pretty good at finding spots to rest out of the water.🥱

Today is Truth and Reconciliation Day in Canada, and the Seabreeze staff would like to acknowledge how privileged we are to work and live on the unceded land of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. The Coast Salish People have stewarded this land since time immemorial.
We'd like to take this day to be grateful to work on the Salish Sea, and to reflect on a past that continues to impact the lives of Indigenous people across Turtle Island and Canada.

Did you know? Humpback Whales are identified by the unique markings, shape and colorations of their tail flukes.
This particular Humpback is called Split Fin, not because of their tail but because of their dorsal fin! Their dorsal fins are also very individual and can help ID.

Guess who's back, back again? Chainsaw's back, tell your friends!
Chainsaw was spotted back in the Strait of Georgia at the start of September to the delight of our passengers and crew! That iconic dorsal is always a welcome sight!

Jack appreciation post!
T137A aka Jack was born in 2002 and he is a favorite sight among Seabreeze staff! We even have him on our business card and painted in our office!
Jack is distinctive for the two notches on his dorsal fins. See if you can spot them in these photos!

It's a boy! 🚹
Did you know that male Orcas have a large black upside-down heart where their ge***al slit is? If you look closely to the middle of his belly, you can also see his belly button!

Can you guess which one is nicknamed "Crinkle" (T037A4)?
Killer Whale dorsal fins are unique to each individual and some are more distinctive than others. Orca fins do not have bones and are made of collagen, which allows such distinct shaped fins!

"Oh my God, they're so close!" Sometimes social media can be deceitful. And expectations don't always match reality. Of course everyone wants a close encounter but here at Seabreeze Adventures we are conscious that these are wild animals and we will always keep a safe distance. If you are in proximity to whales always remember to be "Whale Wise" and maintain a safe distance.
