The Whale Centre, in Tofino BC, offers whale watching tours on our sturdy but adventurous 30ft Boston Whalers with a centre consol, which allows our guides to give you an educational commentary throughout the trip .

Most often viewed are the Pacific Grey Whales either migrating or as summer residents. Watch these majestic creatures dive, spout, breach and spy hop in their marine environment. Humpback Whales are seen throughout the season as well as Orca Whales (Killer Whales). There are a number of other animals which may be seen on our tours: harbour seals, eagles, sea lions, porpoises, sea otters, puffins, murrelets, cormorants and more!

  • Fun and adventurous whale watching and wildlife viewing.
  • Warm cruiser suits as well as wool hats and gloves provided.
  • Professional and experiences guides act as driver & naturalist.
  • Please dress warmly with close toe shoes, sunglasses and sunscreen.
  • Bring your camera, video, binoculars.
  • Private group tours are available.
  • We strongly urge those passengers who are expecting and in the later stages of pregnancy or persons who are at high risk of injury to be aware that sea conditions can be unpredictable at times and this tour may not be suitable for everyone.
A $1 fee will be added to each whale watch fare in support of Strawberry Island Research to maintain the marine ecosystem in Clayoquot Sound.

Whales are wild animals and we cannot guarantee sightings on all of our trips. However, in the event that you do not see whales on your tour we offer our passengers a rain cheque (a complimentary trip with no expiry date). Conditions apply to the rain cheque. It is non-transferable and on a stand by basis only.

The Whale Centre is committed to the conservation of our marine community and that means taking care in how we work around the animals. We believe that it is important to reduce the environmental impacts on the whales. Our crew abides by the viewing guidelines to BE WHALE WISE.
