Whales Guaranteed !
They dive, spout, breach, spyhop and lobtail! These are all typical whale maneuvers you may expect to see off British Columbia’s west coast. Board one of our 30’ rigid hull inflatables or high speed covered family cruisers to enjoy some of the most spectacular scenery in the world! Because much of this coast is uninhabited and accessible only by boat or floatplane……it remains a pristine wilderness. We try to do our share in maintaining this by powering our boats with eco-friendly 4 stroke motors. This rich and nutrient filled ocean is filled with a variety of marine wildlife including many different species of whales as well as harbour seals and sealions, sea otters, porpoises and a myriad of birdlife including puffins, blue herons and bald eagles.

Thanks to mother nature, her ever changing cycles always prove to be unique. Clayoquot Sound is very popular with gangs of marauding transient killer whales on the hunt! Annually we enjoy record numbers of humpback whales and our summer resident grays. Ask your skipper about a sea otter named 'Hannibal'...'The Friendlies'...'2 Dot Star', our favourite gray whale, who has been visiting us for over 20 years!
