Description:

Get an up-close look at grey and humpback whales as well as a wealth of other aquatic wildlife on a whale-watching trip. With guaranteed sightings of these incredible marine mammals, keep your camera at the ready—you may even spot a transient orca breaching in the waves.

Step aboard your seafaring vessel—the large decks of the Laviathan II guarantee a comfortable and stable ride, or Zodiacs offer a more thrilling way to zip across the waves—and make your way into the pristine and untouched coves of Clayoquot Sound.

These deep waters are part of the feeding and breeding grounds for migratory pods of whales. Watch for spouts of water and air as the animals dive and bow along the surface, wave as they flap their massive tails against the waves. As you study the rich sea life, listen as your knowledgeable guide shares information about the region’s natural history and the habits and characteristics of the whales.

Orca whales are spotted here every so often, so keep your eyes peeled for these amazing animals—the First Nations in the region viewed killer whales as powerful custodians of the sea, and play an important role in the mythology of the Pacific Northwest Coastal tribes.
