Mackay Whale Watching in Port McNeill, Vancouver Island, Canada | Whale Watching

Join the Mackay family of Mackay Whale Watching in Port McNeill, pioneers in killer Whale Watching , for a cruise aboard the most innovative certified passenger vessel on the British Columbia coast in Canada.
Our 55 ft. vessel, the ?Naiad Explorer?, offers comfort, heat and washroom facilities for our Whale Watching passengers. Launched in April of 1999, it has been designed to minimize underwater sound generated by props and engines, thus decreasing any impact we may have upon whales or other marine mammals.
Mackay Whale Watching has educational and entertaining Whale Watching tours which are approximately four to five hours in duration and lunch is provided. You will learn the latest information about the killer whales (Orcinus orca) and be able to listen in on the whales? vocalizations with our on-board hydrophone (underwater microphone). The chances of observing killer whales and other whales are extremely good, however, we cannot guarantee sightings. Remember to dress warmly, it?s cool out on the water, even in the middle of summer.
Other species that frequent the area are Minke whales, Pacific White-sided dolphins, Dall?s porpoises, harbour seals, Steller sea lions, humpback whales and a wide variety of sea birds.
Mackay Whale Watching offer one of the most advanced Whale Watching boats in Port McNeill, British Columbia, Canada and the world. This high speed craft can travel to the killer whales. If there are whales to be found we'll do our best to let you see them.
The Mackay Family have been involved in Whale Watching for 25 years now and Bill and Donna were instrumental in obtaining Ecological Reserve status for Robson Bight. they have logged thousands of hours, tens of thousands of sightings and more. We welcome you to join us in our world of Whale Watching.
