Join a small-group boat tour into the sheltered wilderness of Clayoquot Sound. Glide through peaceful inlet waters, tracking coastal black bears scavenging for rock crabs and other natural treats along the shoreline.

Spot more than just bears—Clayoquot Sound teems with life. During your trip, you may see harbor seals, porpoises, and other marine mammals, as well as bald eagles, blue herons, and seabirds.

Our boats ensure intimate group sizes without crowds, enhancing wildlife viewing opportunities. Your captain will navigate along scenic shorelines where bears emerge from forest cover at low tide to feed. Wildlife behavior varies by season, making every tour unique.

Guides provide interpretation about bears’ feeding habits, local ecosystems, and coastal geology. Experience immersive sightings—from mother bears teaching cubs to forage, to eagles perching overhead, and seals patrolling inlets—all from safe distances.
