For bird lovers, photographers, and nature enthusiasts, few places on Canada's west coast compare to Cleland Island Ecological Reserve, just offshore from Tofino. Home to one of British Columbia's most important seabird nesting colonies, this protected island offers an unforgettable opportunity to observe some of the Pacific Northwest's most fascinating birds in their natural habitat.

From May through September, The Whale Centre offers 2.5-hour Bird Watching Tours aboard our small open boat, providing exceptional viewing opportunities and incredible photographic angles while exploring the rugged coastline of Clayoquot Sound.
