We booked the Hot Springs Explorer and the Coastal Bear Watch tours before we came out which was advisable as our tours were fully booked when we checked in. The Hot Springs tour was about 6 ½ to 7 hours long. Ours departed at midday so remember to pack a lunch and a towel. Wear your swimwear under your clothes... more

We paid $256 for a family of four for what was supposed to be a 2.5 hour kayaking trip. The guides spent almost an hour fitting us up. Then, although there were safety tips given, there was little time spent actually explaining anything about how to row in a two-man kayak. As a result since we were beginners we ended... more

This was a 4 hour kayaking trip through the local waterways, with the 2 guides pointing out interesting marine flora and fauna along the way. The half way point is a 1KM boardwalk through the rainforest and then you go back again. The sfatey griefing at the outset was excellent - fun and unhurried yet comprehensive. The trip was conducted... more

Awesome!

My husband and I travelled to Tofino from our holiday in Victoria. We went on a whale watching excursion with Remote Passages and it was well worth every cent of the money. ( not that expensive, about $79 Canadian each) Todd was the skipper on our little Zodiac for us and 3 German visitors. He took us to see Humpback... more

We've had the pleasure of going on three separate trips over the last 3 years with Remote Passages, and each has been memorable! Be it whale watching (surrounded by Orca's hunting a Californian Sea Lion which decided to hide under our Zodiac), Bear watching in the pouring rain (this is the wettest place on Vancouver Island probably!), or visiting the... more

My girlfriend and I had the privilege of touring the rugged West Coast of Vancouver Island with Remote Passages. We embarked on a whale watching trip for the annual grey whale migration and the first bear watching trip of the season. From the moment, we arrived at the Remote Passages office, we were greeted with warm hospitality by the staff.... more

Went on the seasons 1st whale watching expedition this past weekend (feb28/09). Danielle and Pat? in the office were both extremely helpful and full of knowledge. Was impressed by their passion for the area and their expertise. Upon arriving at the storefront we were given our standard waivers to sign and then Pat showed us a map of the sound... more

Had a great trip to Hot Springs Cove on Starlight , the 12 passenger boat. Mike was our guide. He was very informative about and respectful of the ecology of the region and First Nations settlements in the area - made the excursion more than just a boat ride to our destination. He stopped to point out wildlife including a... more
