Because whales deserve a respectful approach

Respectful whale watching from Vancouver Island (Canada)

We are a global environmental organisation dedicated to protecting cetaceans by listing eco-responsible and respectful whale watching operators.

Increase your chances of spotting cetaceans thanks to non-aggressive approaches by marine biologists and naturalist guides.

 Animals that are not stressed are easier to observe, in a calm and respectful environment. 

By observing whales and dolphins with operators approved by Shelltone Whale Project, you are helping to protect them at no extra cost to you.

A word from Pierre

Explore the marine life off Victoria, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Experience the thrill of watching whales, dolphins, sea lions and many other animals in their natural habitat, in the company of experienced guides.

The base follows best practice in whale and wildlife watching, and is fully committed to protecting our marine environment and raising public awareness. They believe that responsible and respectful whale watching is essential to this protection and awareness, as it creates strong ambassadors for environmental protection. As one of the city's oldest and most respected whale-watching and eco-tourism operators, they take the necessary steps to minimise their impact on wildlife.

The Shelltone Whale Project's cetacean-watching charter is fully respected.
