Seals, California and Stellars Sea Lions and Sea Otters are also sighted on most tours as well. We also have daily Bear Watch tours from Tofino, to view the Black Bears of Vancouver Island as they forage on the beaches for their favourite delicacy, tiny Rock Crabs. These Bear Watch tours depart on a varying schedule determined by Low Tide.

Tours depart at 8:30 am and 11:30 am to go up and back by boat and 2:30 pm for the 'Sea to Sky' - Boat up, Fly Back. Once we arrive at the dock at Hot Springs Cove, you will have three hours, plently of time ot walk the one mile boardwalk through the ancient rainforest (@ 40 minutes) and enjoy an hour and a half at the springs themselves to soak away your worries. Bring along a lunch, something to drink, good walking shoes, binoculars and don't forget your camera. This tour is combined with Whale Watching when possible, although not guaranteed.
