Incredible experience!...

5.00Incredible experience! The tour accommodates 30 people, but it doesn’t feel too crowded. We got to see whales on the way out and sea lions and dolphins on the way back. We stopped at a few viewing spots and saw 5 bears in total, including a mother and cub, which sticked around for quite some time. The hosts were fantastic and getting some indigenous background and having indigenous guides was incredible!
A day to remember

5.00Aussi-Brad - Tour guide, Skipper, Waiter, top wildlife spotter and hot chocolate maker, and local Grizzly bear guides Micheal, James gave us an unforgettable experience with weather and nature on our side! Overall, our small group had an amazing up close and personal experience (responsibly) featuring humpback, sealions, seals, eagles, and plenty of grizzly bears out catching salmon, the day was topped with orcas on the return Journey to campbell river port. Transport, knowledge, hospitality, scenery, and food spread all 5 stars!
