Grizzlies, whales & glacial inlets.

A full-day wilderness voyage into the remote Bute and Toba Inlets — there's no better place to see orca, humpback and grizzly in a single day.

01 The Trip

Remote Inlet Grizzly & Whale Tour

Explore the pristine inlets accessible from Comox and Campbell River — some of the most secluded and stunning natural areas on Earth. Towering, glacier-capped mountains create dramatic waterfalls that cascade thousands of feet into ancient ocean inlets carved by ice. This spectacular setting also offers abundant wildlife viewing.

Experience the thrill of grizzly bear viewing during the prime seasons — spring, from April 15th to June 15th, and fall, from August 15th to October 15th. Surrounded by towering mountains and dense forests, you'll have a rare opportunity to observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat, alongside humpback whales, orca, dolphins, seals and eagles.

Prepare for a full day of exploration with expert local guides who know these remote inlets intimately, and please be prepared for any kind of weather on these day trips. Customize your journey with your captain to make the most of the wild.
