Top Whale watching tour agencys in Campbell River, Canada

Robin tried so hard to try and find us wildlife but unfortunately the 6 hour tour was a quieter one. There was a child on our tour that didn't stop talking the whole time and hard to see with other guests in the way. Perhaps some music would've been good whilst we travel. We very much appreciated the hot chocolate provided to us. I also loved being able to use the much better binoculars on board. A nice warm inside boat cabin!

Thank you Batman! We had an amazing tour with you. The front desk lady was also lovely and offered us plenty of information. We saw orcas within the first 5 minutes which was highly unlikely but honestly made my year. 3 humpbacks, endless porpoises, dolphins, sea lions and seals. Very informative and I’d highly recommend.

We went on a Grizzly Tour to Bute Inlet. It was mind blowing and amazing. The tour was perfectly organized, we stopped several times for wildlife (humpbacks, seals) on the way. As we arrived at the Bute Inlet, we got a very high-quality lunch served consisting out of a wrap, cookies, granola bar, dried fruits and coffee/tea/hot chocolate. All homemade.

The bear viewing part was simply mind blowing. Super nice and friendly guides explaining the history, the behaviours of the bears and providing lots of information about their culture and the region. We saw several bears fishing for salmon, even a mom with two cubs. We had lots of time with the bears at several viewing points.

The guides on the boat are super professional and the friendliest people ever.

Yes, it is an expensive tour, but it is so worth every penny! We will definitely do it again!!
We absolutely recommend it to make your trip unforgettable.

The very best people to book your whale or Grizzly trip with!!!
We booked a Grizzly viewing trip with Campbell River after being very let down by another company

What can I say...
100% professional by all involved with this company.
Very well organized &
Nothing is too much trouble.

We saw orcas as soon as we set off, as well as humpback & seals along the way.

An amazing day & saw several Grizzlies including a mommas & her Cub.
We even had a Grizzly walk from behind us & pass on by.
What a day!!!

Thank you Campbell River Whale watching for enabling this tour, providing the great food and the thoughtful planning of this tour! Also for the very good equipment provided!

Thank you Klahoose first nation for allowing us on your territory! Thank you Jerry and Danny for showing us the beautiful nature and the breathtaking wildlife! All your knowledge was impressive and you were the friendliest people imaginable!

This tour was worth every penny! We were lucky with the weather and encountered more (sea) animals we ever could have wished for!

Absolutely recommend! 15/10

What a privilege it is to write a review for Campbell River Whale Watching and our absolutely outstanding guide, Nova. We could not have asked for better in a tour company. Having gone on many whale watching adventures on Canada's east coast we had what we thought was a great baseline for our expectations.

Nova and Campbell River Whale Watching completely blew all other experiences out of the water! Starting with acknowledging the waters in which we were going to travel, to addressing how they were implementing the 94 calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, to the sustainability initiatives and ongoing commitment to learning and growth and the careful measures taken to protect the beautiful wildlife of the waters through which we traveled, we could not have asked for more.

Nova was a guide unlike any we have ever met. Her knowledge, passion, kindness, caring and true heartfelt love of the land and sea was the proverbial icing on our adventure cake.

The 6 hour tour is a must! From the beautiful stop on Stuart Island and the incredible locally sourced lunch including beautiful sandwiches, cookies and more was beyond what we could have ever asked for.

We will be back, we will recommend friends and family and we will continue to say only amazing things about Campbell River Whale Watching. Bravo! You are truly leaders in your field. - Julie, Anne-Marie, Liz and Ben

Went for the whale watching, and we got so much more with it. (Went for the 6 hour one).
I love learning about animals and really enjoy learning about just everything involving the biology and whatnot.
Our tour guide, Bex, was so absolutely amazing. They were friendly, happy, and most of all knowledgeable on the information regarding the area and animals! We got to see humpbacks, bears, porpoises and eagles! We also got to learn about the areas history etc. It was an amazing experience. Even the red suits we wore were decently comfortable and warm despite the cold air from being on an open boat.
Really an amazing experience and I'm so happy to have seen such marvellous and jaw-dropping things.

We saw quite a few humpback whales displaying different behaviours, pacific white-sided dolphins, harbour seals, a black bear and many, many bald eagles on the 6 hour covered-boat tour. The rapids and whirlpools were fun to boat through as well. I have been on a few tours in the past, but it was a first for my family members so I'm glad that we saw so much! Our guide, Batman, was very kind, genuine, and knowledgeable. Additonal things that stood out were the hearty lunch of 3 different wrap options, a mix of dried fruit, and homemade baked goods; the informative briefing of our route before and after the trip; and the carbon neutral objectives of the company which allowed each guest to protect a square meter of land in Toba Inlet through a small conservation fee. Thanks for a great tour!
