Experience the wild beauty of Clayoquot Sound as you cruise through calm inlets and pristine coastal waters aboard a comfortable cabin cruiser. During low tide, black bears emerge from the lush rainforest to forage along rocky shorelines, skillfully turning stones in search of crabs and clams. Departing from Tofino, this small group tour offers an intimate and relaxed wildlife encounter in the sheltered waters of Browning Pass and Fortune Channel. As spring awakens the coast, bears including attentive mothers with cubs can often be seen exploring the intertidal zone.
Along the journey, guests may also spot harbor seals, eagles, herons, and harbor porpoises while enjoying panoramic ocean views. The spacious vessel features an enclosed cabin with wide windows and an outdoor deck for open air viewing. Friendly expert guides share engaging live commentary about local wildlife and the surrounding ecosystem. With decades of experience and a strong sighting record, a raincheck guarantee offers another opportunity should a bear not appear.

We travelled at the end of bear season but our guide did everything possible to find one. Beautiful sunrise on the water, informative trip and overall great experience.

Super! Wir haben zwei Bären, einen Wal und sehr viele Seeotter gesehen. Es hat zwar leider leider leicht geregnet, aber die Tour hat sich trotzdem gelohnt.
