We will enjoy a scenic part of northern Vancouver Island by visiting the Cave and a lake or two. Then we drive back to the base, pick up the boat, and go whale watching for the rest of the afternoon in Queen Charlotte Strait, Blackfish Sound, Johnstone Strait, and the Broughton Archipelago. This is a great choice for families or special needs as we are more flexible with timing.
Important notes:!!! (Please also check my FAQ page)
No wildlife sightings can be guaranteed (expect nothing and be happily surprised). We do see Humpback Whales, Sea Otters, Eagles, Seals and Sea Lions on almost every tour, Black Bears and Orca Whales on many (in season!), and Dolphins on some of the tours.
I never had anyone getting seasick on my boat. I operate only in protected waters, not the open ocean. While the Broughton tour is fairly protected, I do not recommend it for pregnant women or guests with back problems.
I can’t guarantee you wildlife, but I can guarantee that I will do everything in my power to make it the very best day for you.
We will be driving to the cave and go for a short hike, maybe 20 minutes and enjoy the peaceful setting. After we return to the car we will be visiting a lake or two before we drive back to the base, pick up “The Ambient Light”, launch it and go whale watching in Johnstone Strait and the Broughton Archipelago.
Depending on the season we might see killer whales, humpback whales, porpoises, sea lions, eagles and other marine wildlife. With a bit of luck we might even see dolphins or black bears.
