Guests on our whale-watching tours will explore the waters of Clayoquot Sound, where we most often encounter grey whales. From March to November, more than 200 resident grey whales feed in these waters. Killer whales can be spotted year-round, though not daily, while humpback whales are typically seen between March and September. Alongside these majestic whales, our tours also offer sightings of sea otters, sea lions, harbour seals, eagles, and more.

This adventure is covered by our Whale Sightings Guarantee. If we do not see whales, you can join us for another tour, free of charge, on standby in the future. Some conditions apply - see our website for details.
