F A Q 's (Questions & Answers) What should we bring? Every tour is different. We provide a list on each page for suggested items to have with you to make your expedition comfortable. Can we bring our camera? Of Course and bring extra film too! If it makes you feel more comfortable pack it in a plastic ziplock bag. What should we wear? Always be prepared for west coast weather - layers are suggested- you can always take it off if you find yourself to warm. Are the boats safe? We are very proud of our boats , they are newly built tourboats with washrooms on board and state of the art navigation equipment. They are also the only yellow tour boats in Tofino (you can't miss us on the water!) Are we going to get wet? This is not a ride at Disney land, there are no waves that come into the boat, but on a windy day you may get a bit of ocean spray on you. ( it keeps you refreshed) How many passengers do the boats carry? 12 at the most. I am pregnant/have a broken collarbone/ osteoporosis can I go on a zodiac? No Are we guaranteed to see whales? We very seldom come back to the dock without seeing at least one whale - if it so happens you are without a sighting we will give you a raincheck for the next time you wish to come out. Will we see killer whales? Killer whales in Clayoquot Sound are transient hunters (we cannot predict their arrival or departure) but when we are lucky enough to have them in the area it is a very exciting time for the whaling fleet. Can we bring our dog? Only in memory. How big are the waves? The waves are called swells and with the everchanging tides and weather we cannot predict how big they will be but we can assure you that our pilots will not take you where the boats cannot maneuver with the utmost safety. Are we going to get sick? If you are in the least bit worried, chew gum -- it seems to help.     Ocean Outfitters Ltd. 368 Main Street, Tofino, B.C.
