Tidal Black Bear and Wildlife Watching Adventure Tours

Clayoquot Sound offers the most incredible coastline for viewing black bears. These adventure tours cruise through the protected and calm waters surrounding scenic Meares Island.

These resident bears come down to the beaches at low tide to forage for such beach delicacies as rock crab, starfish and even a bit of kelp. They are an absolute pleasure to watch from the boat and thanks to their bad eyesight they are usually unaware of our presence as long as we keep quiet and down wind.

You will also have grand opportunities on this tour to view an eagle aerie with many bald eagles, harbour porpoises, seals, river otters, blue herons and many different surprise species of wildlife!

Our tours are offered as soon as the bears wake up from winter hibernation (approximately May 1) and end when the bears travel upriver to feast on salmon (around Oct 1).
