The highlight of our holiday, but very expensive - Our guide Tylor was incredible, we felt absolutely safe all the time. He was so extremely friendly! The tour was the highlight of our holiday, costs a lot of money, but the day was really indescribable! Great ride through the fjords of Canada, we saw different whales and seals, it was even driven after. Seeing the Grizzly’s fishing was spectacular. We saw 3 bears. So only recommended, although very expensive. Lunch consisted of a wrap, dried fruit and biscuits, so we expected something different, but was ok.

Best Day of Our Holiday - Viewing grizzles was the reason we chose to vacation in BC and this tour delivered. Tyler W was great; he somehow managed to drive the boat, serve coffee and spot a humpback whale simultaneously. We saw a humpback, orcas, and a grizzly mama and cub without even trying. A little patience got us an adult male grizzly and some bald and golden eagles. The local guides were also fantastic and the food was delicious as well. They did a great job accommodating restricted diets. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this tour again.

Another wonderful experience with Campbell River Whale Watching and Adventures! - What a day! We saw Humpback Whales, Orcas and gorgeous Waterfalls on the way to Toba Inlet where we spent time with beautiful Grizzly Bears fishing for salmon in the Klite River. Captain Tyler is a great guide, very knowledgeable and personable and served up a delicious lunch. I would also like to mention Sherry who has booked a few tours for me and goes above and beyond in her friendly way. I highly recommend this awesome tour company if you are looking for an adventure of a lifetime!

Bucket list-got to see grizzlies!! - This tour was epic!! Going that far into the wilderness just allows you to relax and breathe in the clean air. Marty was our guide and we had a great group of 12 people in our boat. We were the only Americans, which I thought was pretty cool! The boat ride was super scenic and we saw over 10 humpback whales and even got to experience whale breath (haha it's real and it's gross!) then we had the whole grizzly bear experience!! The tribe hosts were warm and welcoming and I enjoyed hearing their stories about the land and its history. The first 2 viewing platforms were at stunning locations, and we didn't have to continue going to the other ones because before we knew it, bears started coming out of the forest and swam right in front of us! We saw 4 bears total, including a mom with her cub and the cub was the CUTEST!! He was frolicking around in the middle of the river pouncing on salmon. We couldn't have gotten luckier. It's a long day but totally worth it and I felt safe the whole time.

Highlight of our trip - Totally amazing. We did the Toba Inlet bear tour and had Marty as our pilot and guide on the way to Toba. He was friendly, funny and knowledgeable and we were lucky to see multiple humpback whales going there and back! We also stopped by one of the waterfalls in the inlet. Upon arrival we had a tasty packed lunch and some hot drinks, then met our Klahoose hosts who formally welcomed us and gave us a talk on bear safety. Then we headed off to the bears! Our Klahoose guides were Troy and Leon who were super knowledgeable and welcoming and great to chat with! We ended up seeing four bears - Stripe, Arnie, and Blondie and her cub. It was totally magical and I 100% recommend it, it’s been the highlight of our trip. Having grown up in the Fraser valley I’d only seen black bears before and it was very cool to see grizzlies in the wild! 🐻

Great Tour with Steve to Bears and Orcas - Steve was our perfect guide. We had a great time on our Tour to Bears in Toba Inlet. The tour startet at 10 a.m. with a nearly 3 hours drive to Toba Inlet. We met there members of the First Nations who brought us to several Towers for Bear watching. With a lot of patience we finally watched one bear fishing. Great experience. On our way back Steve took much time while Orcas and Humpbacks crossed our way. Back in harbour by 8. p.m. Thanks a lot for this wonderful experience

Wonderful tour - Well arranged, grizzlies, humbacks and sea lions seen. Zoe and the driver of the boat, can't remember his name, have done everything they can to see as many animals as possible. Also the guides in the deployment were very informative and no effort was too much for them. Very satisfied with the tour.

Amazing! - The boat captain (Captain John), naturalist(Zoey), and native guide(Cheyenne) were all fantastic. Very friendly and knowledgeable. They get you up close and personal, but in a safe manner. We saw orcas, humpback whales, grizzlies, sea lions, and bald eagles.

Excellent excursion! - Not only did we see 6 grizzlybears, we saw sealions, seals, dolphins, dal porpoises, black bears AND orcas during the boatride to the inlet. Jessica was a great guide. Not a cheap excursion but realy worth the money.
