Tofino Bear Watching Tours
At low tide, enjoy a scenic two-hour boat ride from Tofino
to the tranquil sheltered inlets of the Clayoquot Sound.
Black bears in this region emerge from their winter rest to
feed on protein along the shorelines all spring, summer

of crab and other seafood.

With grey whales, humpbacks and orcas, Tofino’s waters, known as the Clayoquot
Sound, present some of the best whale watching in the world. These waters are rich
with food and the whales gain over 30 per cent of their body weight while feeding
here. A scenic three-hour tour takes you to the feeding grounds to watch these
gentle giants. Bring your camera on the “whale safaris” as there are also other marine
mammals to see including sea lions, otters, eagles, seals, porpoise and more. Whale
Safaris take place on Transport Canada Safety Certified vessels with a Master Captain
and Naturalist onboard. The heated cabins have restrooms and there are many
outdoor viewing platforms and seating for the entire family. Perfect for all ages and
abilities. Helly Hansen rain jackets and PFDs are provided for all guests. Tours depart
rain or shine.
