Wonderful Howie took us to remote bays at low tide where we saw numerous black bears and cubs rolling rocks over along the beach as they fed on crabs. This was an amazing 2-3 hour trip in an open boat where Howie found 11 bears for us to watch, in most cases just 4-10 metres away from them. We we... More

My husband and I went on the Centre’s bear watching trip in August; I had purchased the deal through Groupon.

My wife and I went on a whale watching tour through The Whale Center as it was the cheapest whale tour we found through the internet. The staff were nice enough but you had to walk, in the heavy warm dry-suits they give you, from the office on Campbell st to the ocean a block and a half away. In... More

We highly recommend using this company to plan your Whale and Wildlife watching trip. We had fantastic views of Humpback and Grey Whales, Sea Otter, Steller's Sea Lions and amazing birds. The boat was modern and the guide, John Forde, was excellent - very knowledgeable! More
