We had a great trip whale watching trip last summer with Discovery Marine Safari. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. They were able to find a pod of 5 Orca's including a young one. The larger boat was great for our 4 and 7 year old children as it protected them from the wind during higher speeds as well... More

We are from the area and wanted to go for a Grizzley Tour. We booked and right from the start we were thrilled by the highly professional staff. Our naturalist guide said he loved his job so much he would do it for free. Well after spending time with Sean and capt. Geord we were soon convinced. I honestly have... More

I went on this tour with friends on October 13th and was absolutely thrilled with the whole day. It was actually better than I imagined because we were able to be very close to grizzly bears in their natural habitat. We saw a sow and her cub plus other bears from the viewing platforms and standing on the riverbank. The... More

An excellent day trip to Bute Inlet and the mouth of the Orford River. We were part of a group of 9 on the day we went and Joel our skipper was most welcoming. We didn't have the biologist on board but Joel was so knowledgeable that we probably didn't need one. En route we saw Seals and sealions but... More

My family and I (all adults) enjoyed the grizzly bear tour out of Campbell River and into Bute Inlet on Sunday, September 30. In addition to observing several grizzly bears, we also watched chum salmon defending their nests in the river bed, enjoyed the... More

Grizzly bear tour on Monday 24th September to Bute Inlet was a great success. An exciting ride out: a huge school of dolphins swam alongside the boat in the Bute Inlet, leaping out of the water. Also saw orcas and sea lions. Finally at the Homalco first nation site we safely witnessed grizzly bears catching fish in the river. The... More

Tour on 23rd of September, great weather. Embarkment at 12:20. Safety talk about vessel and other information by skipper Shaun. On the way to Bute Inlet biologist Mark gave information on the grizzly bears and what when to do. In short, follow instructions by Mark when on land. He knows the behaviour of the bears. During the boattrip we encountered... More

We had a good day of whale hunting and learning a lot about orcas that we didn't already know. Shaun, Mark and Sherrie provided us with lots of information as well as getting us safely out to where the whales were. We got to see about 30 orca as well as a very large group of white sided dolphins playing... More
