Staying in Ucluelet or Tofino? Ucluelet is the perfect location to launch your west coast adventure, and you can count on Subtidal Adventures for safe and affordable fun. Our guides live here and understand the local waters, so let us show you this wonderful place the whales, bears and eagles also call home. Superb photo opportunities.
Our Guarantee
We are dealing with the natural environment which we cannot control, so there is no guarantee. However, most years the sighting percentage for bears on a bear tour and whales on a whale tour is about 95%.
Plan ahead:
Highway road safety improvement project 2025. Expect delays. There are two major road work projects involving up to 30-minute delays with single lane alternating traffic. Please allow extra travel time.
