Join us in Campbell River before crossing the Salish Sea, one of the world’s best whale-watching spots. You’ll soon reach Toba Inlet, an area densely populated by grizzly bears.
The first of its kind, the TOBA BEARS AND WILDERNESS is a collaborative partnership between the Homalco and Klahoose First Nations. Join your Klahoose guides as they take you to their home Territory. Hear stories and learn about the vibrancy of the living Klahoose culture.
The toq qaymɩxʷ (Klahoose) peoples have lived here on the west coast of BC since time immemorial. We invite you to see the beauty of Toba Inlet through our eyes and share in our traditions, which have been handed down through generations.

5.00Although the weather could be iffy--we had a beautiful day. Carry clothing to be insured you are covered (so to speak) for rain or cool. It is chilly on the boat when you choose to ride outside. We saw whales coming and going and watched bears at every location we stopped. A mama and cubs--an old guy catching fish, a young buck headed up river. It was all glorious.
Wildlife of all kinds....
