Campbell River: Spring Bear Watching & Waterfalls Boat Tour
Overview
Join us on a springtime adventure to witness the coast come to life. Journey into dramatic fjords at their most spectacular - a time when towering waterfalls, fed by the spring melt, cascade down rocky cliffs at their peak flow and the region's iconic wildlife emerges to feast.
You will travel in comfort aboard our covered vessel, which features a heated cabin, onboard washroom, and walk-around viewing decks for unobstructed views. We will guide you deep into the scenic mainland inlets, a landscape of towering peaks and vibrant forests.
Along the remote intertidal zones, your expert naturalist guide will help you spot black bears foraging for crabs, mussels, and oysters.
This journey is offering a fantastic chance to see the diverse wildlife that calls this region home. We will look for sea lions basking on coastal rocks , seabirds soaring overhead , and may even be lucky enough to spot Orcas and the first humpback whales of the year as they return to these rich northern waters.
