Great knowledge guide, awesome animal sightings! - Can't reccomend these guys enough, myself and my partner went on the spring watch boat tour on a covered boat, captained by the wonderful Bex! Bex was incredibly knowledgeable, realy enthusiastic and got everyone on the boat excited/ involved. We were lucky enough to see bald eagles, steller sea lions, californian sea lion, black bear, grizzly bear and then to top it off a black bear with 2 young cubs! It was truly magical. We were very close to seing a pod of Orcas on the way back, Bex had radioed to find out if there had been any sightings and so we diverted off on the way back, unfortunately we just missed out on seing them. But we were super appreciative that Bex tried for us, especially as it wasnt a whale tour!
Also to note the food offered was really tasty, freshly prepared, didnt expect it to be as good as it was.
So if you're even considering it, book now!

Spring bear tour - Excellent day trip. Tour guide was very knowledgeable (Beck) told us lots about the different wild life we saw and made sure we got close enough to see without scaring them.
We saw bears, sea lions and eagles as well as plenty of waterfalls.
Lunch provided was exceptional quality

Bear watching tour is terrific! - Bex, our guide was wonderful- very personable and knowledgeable. She was also very safety conscious. The bear sighting we experienced were terrific. We were able to get quite close without disturbing the bears.
The scenery was stunning! The waterfalls that we saw were beautiful!
We had a lovely lunch on the back deck of the boat.
It was a lovely day.
I would recommend any tour from this company.

Fantastic Spring Bear and Waterfall Tour with Campbell River Whale Watching and Adventure Tours - Following an unforgettable experience two years ago, we returned with friends for a second tour with friends, and it did not disappoint!
Steve and the team were once again outstanding, and our guide Brad was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire journey both fun and informative. The boat was exceptionally comfortable, with space for 12 passengers and plenty of options to enjoy the scenery (indoors, outside, and even from the upper deck for panoramic views).
We were lucky to spot several orcas along the way, set against breathtaking coastal backdrops. The waterfalls were absolutely stunning, and we had the incredible opportunity to observe five black bears in their natural habitat.
Lunch was thoughtfully provided in sustainable packaging and local produce, and everything was delicious, especially the oat cakes (I’d love the recipe!).
An all-around magical spring adventure, highly recommended for anyone visiting Vancouver Island.

Great waterfall and bear tour - We absolutely enjoyed our trip. Marty was great to take time, answer questions, navigate the boat so that everyone would have plenty of time to see everything. His interactions with our 8 year old were also just super fun to have him engaged in all that goes on around the boat. We saw bears, whales, eagles, seals and plenty of waterfalls. A local arranges their lunch packs and they were absolutely great!

Outstanding! - Outstanding! We went in the spring bear and waterfall tour and the zodiac four hour whale watching experience. The guides on both tours were extremely knowledgable and enthusiastic and really cared about both our experience and that of the wildlife. We were extremely lucky to see bears, humpbacks and orcas. We also got to see eagles, seals, sea lions and other birds galore. Couldn’t rate the company or guides more highly! (The lunch in the all day tour was great too!).

Bear and Waterfalls Tour Superb - The weather was not in our favour with rain and high winds causing the tour to be lengthened but the poor weather was more than compensated for by a great skipper a tour guide Bex. The food and drink of excellent quality and the wildlife didn't seem to mind the weather.

Everything we wanted in a wildlife tour! - Brad (hopefully remembered right) was amazing captain and spotter. We saw Orca, Humpbacks, Porpoise, Sea Lions, Seals and 3 Black Bears. It was a fun day out. Was nice talking to him about island life as well.

An amazing day out on the boat, delivered what was written on the tin. Bears, grizzly and black and beautiful scenery - Second time we have visited Vancouver Island and been on a tour. The second time did not fail to live up to expectations. An amazing day! The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and go that extra mile to ensure you see something and have a change to photograph it. Definitely will revisit and recommend to anyone travelling to the island.
