Full description
Spend a day on the water and discover local wildlife on this Campbell River cruise. Visit the Salish Sea, Discovery Passage, and Johnstone Strait. With an abundance of wildlife in the area, you are likely to encounter many animals both on land and at sea. Choose from two vessel options for your cruise. A covered vessel with indoor seating offers a good option for families. Alternatively, a zodiac-style vessel offers a good option for those who like being outdoors and want to feel the wind through their hair. Hop aboard your chosen vessel, then sit back and relax. Keep an eye out for humpback whales, killer whales, Pacific white-sided dolphins, bears, Steller sea lions, and more. Learn from an on-board naturalist and listen to the sounds of whales through hydrophones.

Our guide, Nova, was so informative and did a fabulous job of educating the whale watching 'crew'. The experience was absolutely fun, fun, fun! We were able to watch and learn about sea lions and approximately 15 hump-back whales. It was time well spent and our foursome gives it a two thumbs up!

We loved every minute of the tour. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, so beautiful! Staff were great, we felt safe, safety protocol was explained very well. No one can predict how many whales you will see, just enjoy the experience. We were lucky to see 7 humpbacks, lots of sealions, bald eagles, etc. Strongly recommend this awesome experience! Highlight of our summer.

Die Whale watching Tour war ein echt tolles Erlebnis. Besonders gefallen hat uns der Respekt gegenüber allen Tieren. Wir hatten im genügend Abstand, sodass den Tieren eine Comfortzone blieb. Der Guide war sehr aufmerksam und hat einiges über die Seelöwen und Wale erzählen können. Es gab zwischendurch sogar einen kleinen Snack. Leider haben wir keine Orca-Wale sehen können, aber so ist das mit der Natur, sie hat ihre eigenen Regeln. ☺️ Wir würden Campbell River Whale watching Adventure auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen !
