Bear watching Tofino
“That was amazing! Better then I ever imagined...7 bears”

Guests aboard our bear watching tours are often amazed by the intimate and personal experience that we provide. Our skippers are experience naturalists and are very passionate about what they do. Sitting in solitude watching a bear munching contently on shellfish is a sight and sound you won’t soon forget. To observe bears feeding and interacting in their natural habitat with out disturbing them is an incredible experience. Guest are excited to see bears just being bears. Since we do not feed or alter the bears behavior, you really get a chance to enjoy natural behaviors in a way that you never could in a zoo or wildlife refuge. You can easily see how bears have won a place in our imagination. Their behavior often reflect their distinct personalities and the skippers can often recognize individual bears.

M.V. Eco- 24 foot boston whaler
This boat was made and outfitted to be the perfect bear watching vessel. The ‘Eco’ can slide into those super shallow coves and bays at low tide where larger vessels are scared to go. The dual quiet Suzuki engines allow us to view the wildlife without disturbing it. In fact the bears hardly seem to even notice we’re there! Even though everyone is wearing bright red, warm, dry Mustang cruiser suits. We provide the suits to keep our guests comfortable while enjoying the exhilarating ride up the inlet, the boat is quiet but still really fast! The ‘Eco’ is also excellent at getting good looks at harbor seals, shorebirds and maybe even a wolf, if your lucky. The centre console allows the skipper to talk easily with the whole crew, explaining the wildlife, area and history.
