Islands, Whales & Bears: .
“More than just a whale tour”. We have developed the best all-round summer boat tour , which is available on our fast and fun zodiac, the “Discovery” or, for a more leisurely and relaxing ride, our cabin cruiser, the “Dixie IV”. It combines whale watching with a little bear watching and a cruise through the islands of Barkley Sound; including the Broken Group Islands of Pacific Rim National Park. Once home to almost 10,000 First Nations People, the Broken Group Islands has been virtually unchanged for centuries. In addition to our usual sightings of summer resident Gray or Humpback Whales, Sea Lions, Harbour Seals, Bald Eagles and sea birds, we may also see the Orca and maybe a Sea Otter. Advance reservations recommended.

The Perfect Storm Harbour Tour
Storm Watching from shore is exciting! Try it from a boat! This scenic harbour tour takes you past the fish boat docks to the mouth of Ucluelet harbour for a taste of the "rough stuff"- but only for a few minutes - before returning to the harbour. Feel the power of the mighty Pacific and appreciate the calm of the harbour in a short 1.5-hour cruise on the Dixie IV, or, for a more extreme ride, choose the Discovery for a 1 hour tour. Eagles, sea lions, and seals are quite common in the harbour.

Adult: $49 Child (6-12 years) $39 (under 6) $29
Schedule:
Discovery Nov. to February: 2:00 pm Afternoon
or Dixie IV:
