Overview

Perfect for the wildlife lovers, this tour offer plenty of opportunity to see the wild creatures in their element.

If you’re looking to explore Vancouver Island’s wild west coast without going to far from the city, consider visiting the South West Coast. Better than Tofino, closer to the city, family friendly and adventurer ready.

Once we pick you up at 8am, it’s off to the West Coast for some invigorating hikes and coastal exploration.

We will make a stop at the awe-inspiring Jurassic Grove. There, you can witness 1000-year-old Western Red Cedars, including 3.6m large trees!

On our way back down, we will see 2 more beautiful beaches, suited for your group's ability. We will stop at either Mystic Beach, Sandcut Beach or Muir Creek Beach.

All of them have beautiful sandstone features and you could also witness whales crossing the strait, sea lions, seals and otters cruising by the beach or basking in the sun, millions of year old fossils and waterfalls!

    Juan de Fuca Provincial Park

    Passing by the Juan de Fuca Trail, we will be entering Jurassic Grove. This magnificent grove of Ancient Trees is like stepping back in time 10,000 years, after the last glaciation. The Ancient Rainforest of this grove is truly magical, and nothing is comparable to the Old-Growth Cedar Groves of Vancouver Island. Here you can witness 1000 year old Cedar Trees in their grandeur, some reaching 90 meters/270 feet in height and over 3m/10ft in width. This is backcountry trail and your guide will take you through this hidden gem safely and provide you with this unique experience, as we are the only operator on the Island to explore this with visitors.

    Sandcut Beach

    Sandcut Beach is a playground for people of all ages. From little tots to more experienced folks, this sand and pebble beach features a beautiful double header waterfall. Past the waterfall, the low tide can offer tide pools to explore with Mussels bigger than your hand and anemones covering the rocks. A giant driftlog makes for the perfect photo op, and the cascading waters, jutting off the cliff, are ideal for slipping behind for a glimpse and a gander behind the fall.

    Muir Creek Beach

    This last stop is where we will be enjoying our lunch in the company of Harbour Seals, baking in the sun. While we eat our fare, the seals will be napping on the rocks off the beach and if we are lucky we might catch them at lunch hour as well. These seals (and sometimes Otters) enjoy the kelp forest and rocky shores where fish, eels and shellfish hide before becoming a snack. Marvel at a Bald Eagle's nest up in the trees and wait for their soft tune announcing their take off in the air for some soaring and fishing.
