See more
Set out on a full-day whale watching adventure in the stunning waters of Campbell River, exploring the rich marine environment of the Discovery Islands and Desolation Sound. This area is renowned for its vibrant marine life and breathtaking scenery.
Soon after departure, you'll find yourself in prime feeding grounds for migratory Humpback Whales. These gentle giants, weighing over 60 tons, are often seen breaching and spouting, providing unforgettable encounters. Keep your eyes peeled for the sleek, powerful clans of Transient Orcas, which spend long hours hunting along the shoreline and fjords, showcasing their intelligence and hunting prowess in their vast ocean home.
The interconnected waterways of the Discovery Islands host world-famous tidal rapids that bring a surge of nutrients. This creates a lively scene with Steller sea lions feeding in groups, harbor seals, Pacific white-sided dolphins, and large flocks of Bald Eagles and gulls circling overhead. It's a true spectacle of marine biodiversity and natural beauty.
