I spent some time on the West Coast of Vancouver Island this summer and decided that a trip to Tofino wouldn't be complete without a trip out on the water. I did a bit of shopping around town and decided to book with Aquatic Safaris as I really liked the outdoor/indoor seating option of their boat. They offered a few... more

Make sure the weather is good before venturing out. By the end of the trip, we'd seen grey whales, sea lions, and humpbacks, but by the end most of the people on board were puking their guts up.
