“The spaced and easy flow of our Corporate Castaways event, from one "station" to the next, along with your staff’s clear explanations of what was expected really enhanced the day. People "got it" and had fun meeting the challenges. As with most Team events, the bringing together of individuals to meet a common goal directly facing them, and their finding ways to do this, was of great benefit. In our HEADSTART conference, these are people from right across Canada who seldom see each other directly. Working together in small groups is excellent networking, as opposed to sitting in a meeting or seminar. Without question this was an excellent investment.”

Watch the magnificent whales of Canada's West Coast!

No trip to the West Coast would be complete without experiencing whale watching! We offer guided whale watching trips in both Tofino and Ucluelet. Join us on a whalewatching tour in style on one of the west coast's large, luxury whale-watch vessels, the 65 foot 'Leviathan II' in Tofino or the 65 foot 'Lady Selkirk' in Ucluelet, BC. Whale watching is an adventure the whole family can enjoy!

We offer guaranteed sightings throughout our season. Most often viewed are the Pacific Gray Whale. The migration starts to show up along the coast of Vancouver Island in early February and continues through late April.  From April on through November, we have our 'Resident' Gray whales feeding in Clayoquot Sound and Barkley Sound. Humpback whales are also seen throughout our season, with the heaviest sightings in February, June, July, August and September.  We see Orca whales (Killer whales) as well! There are 12 pods of 'Transient' Orcas that we see about once every two to three weeks throughout the year.

These whalewatching cruise tours are conducted in sheltered inlets as well as open ocean.  If you are prone to sea sickness, please use your favourite motion sickness medicine beforehand or ask for a set of 'Sea Bands' which work well.  As well, please be advised that it is often quite a bit colder on the water than on land.
