vancouver is from june till september when whale activity is highest and ocean conditions are calmer during these months sightings of bigg s transient orcas are very common as they hunt seals and sea lions throughout the salish sea humpback whales also return in large numbers during spring and summer as they migrate along the british columbia coast making them a frequent highlight on tours northern resident killer whales can be seen further north around vancouver island although whales can appear at any time of year winter sightings are less predictable and many tour companies do not operate in the off season for the best experience most visitors choose tours in june july august and september when sighting rates are highest and weather is most pleasant how to choose an eco friendly and ethical whale watching tour when choosing a whale watching tour in vancouver it s important to pick a company that puts sustainability conservation and animal welfare first our pick follows these standards going beyond basic requirements to make a positive impact on the ocean and the climate a responsible whale watching operator should be climate positive meaning they offset more than 100 of their greenhouse gas emissions and continually reduce their footprint each year they should take part in certified environmental programs support local conservation projects such as forest based carbon reduction on the west coast and work with professional partners to measure monitor and improve sustainability ethical operators also hold recognized eco certifications such as biosphere certification or similar programs aligned with the united nations sustainable development goals and commit to goals like cutting emissions by 50 by 2030 and reaching net zero by 2050 our recommended pick demonstrates responsible action by using quiet fuel efficient technology to reduce underwater noise that can disturb whales using compostable and sustainable materials onboard supporting scientific research and sharing whale sighting data with conservation networks following whale wise guidelines and maintaining safe viewing distances contributing financial support to local environment and community organizations including conservation initiatives and charities donating at least 1 of annual revenue to environmental causes by choosing a tour like this you support whale
