To begin with, the friendliness of our hosts, Al and Toddy, immediately put us all at ease. The way this couple works together is so pleasant and professional. We knew we were going to have a great adventure in some of the most beautiful country immaginable. We saw several bald eagles right as soon as we were underway on this... More

Al and Toddy are such welcoming and informative hosts - we didn't feel like we were just on a 3-hour tour (in fact it was 5), we felt like we were exploring the west-coast with family friends. The pace was perfectly relaxed and lunch was excellent. The boat and whole experience was very comfortable. We saw quite a few grey... More

Grey whales, bald eagles sea lions etc .. Maybe with more luck we wd have seen black bears too ! Hosts Alan & Toddy are so welcoming and enthusiastic about the wildlife. We had a wonderful day cruising the Ucluelet area and the Broken Group Islands, despite fog for most of the trip - we did see plenty of bald... More

What a fantastic day..... Again! My wife and I visited Ucluelet from New York a couple of years ago and were so impressed by our experience on this tour that we returned. The second time was just a special. From bald eagles to grey whales to seal lions and even black bears, the variety of wildlife on a 5 hour... More

Nice trip with nice people and a great boat! We saw grey whales twice and they were nice and close! The lunch was expensive but very nice, and generally it was a great way to spend a foggy day in Ucuelet! We got out into the sunshine which would not have happened had we stayed on shore, as it was... More

Our friends booked this excursion for us, the day was incredible from start to finish. From the minute we stepped on board Toddy and Al's boat (their home), everything was first class. The excursion itself was wonderful, we saw bald eagles, humpback and grey whales, a bear and her cub, sea lions, stellar and california seals, last but not least... More

I have just spent a fantastic day with Toddy and Al on the tour of the Broken Group Islands and what a day! I saw so much and learnt so much about this area that when I come back to Ucluelet, I will take this trip again. Toddy and Al welcomed the group aboard their floating home and as we... More

I really didn't know what to expect and can say I was very happy I spent a little more money to go on this tour then with any other company. It is a private yacht with all the comforts of home. Our guides are very knowledgeable about Ucluelet and the surrounding areas which was great. They really took the time... More

We took a tour with Archipelago on a beautiful sunny day in May and had a wonderful time. I have been on similar tours around the globe and this is certainly one of my favorites. They really do think of everything to make the tour entertaining, comfortable and appropriate for any type of traveller. I was very impressed with the... More
