About Adventure Tofino Wildlife Tours
Adventure Tofino is a small, family-owned wildlife tour company operating from Main Street in the heart of Tofino. Unlike the larger fleet operators, they keep group sizes capped at 12 passengers per trip, prioritising an intimate, personalised experience on every departure into Clayoquot Sound.
They run whale watching, bear watching, and hot springs tours aboard two open Zodiac boats that offer unobstructed 360-degree views of the surrounding waters and coastline. Whale watching trips target grey whales, humpbacks, and orcas depending on the season, while bear watching excursions head to secluded inlets where black bears are regularly spotted foraging. Hot springs day trips follow the scenic coastal route to the geothermal pools at Maquinna Provincial Park.
The small-group format is Adventure Tofino's biggest draw — with fewer passengers per boat, guides can tailor each trip to the group's interests, spend more time at sighting locations, and offer a more conversational, educational experience. It's an ideal choice for photographers, wildlife enthusiasts, and anyone who prefers a quieter, more focused outing over a large-boat cruise.
