Take in the exhilarating All Day Victoria & Whale Watching experience on the modern vessel Ocean Magic. The 62 foot all aluminum Ocean Magic sets the standard for large, high performance whale watching vessels. The design is based on the proven engineering of the Naiad Explorer. While the high-speed ship looks like an oversized zodiac, it is designed and built entirely from aluminum for strength and stability. The big boat is an express cruiser with speeds capable of up to 30 knots and seating for up to 74 excited passengers. Your crew consists of a marine biologist who will provide a very interesting narrative about the marine mammals you will see on your journey. The boat features hydrophones, so you can listen in on the whales as they communicate with one another.
For your viewing pleasure, the top deck seats 40 passengers while the aft deck has a capacity of 25. Keep your cameras ready for some amazing up-close photos of the whales in their natural habitat. Mid-ship is also open to provide panoramic views from inside the cabin. The ship also provides the comfort of an indoor heated area for cold weather tours. Another feature is the small pantry for snacks and drinks. For your convenience, the ship is equipped with airline style restrooms. After an exhilarating trip at sea, the ship will take you to Victoria Island for a tour of the beautiful Butchart Gardens. Enjoy High Tea at the Empress or stroll through Beacon Hill Park or take in the marvelous exhibits inside the Royal British Columbia Museum.
