Sidney Whale Watching is a family owned and operated company that has been serving Sidney and the Saanich Peninsula for over 20 years. Each and every one of our team members loves what we do, and therefore, we strive to make our tours as memorable as possible. We all agree that there is no better day than a day that is spent out on the water.
