Whale & Bear Watching


Campbell River not only offers unprecedented opportunities for the wildlife and nature lover, it is also the gateway to the northern resident orcas. These extraordinary intelligent whales are found frequenting the waters north of Campbell River from late June through to October. The 90%+ success rate of whale sightings is much higher than in any other area on the Coast of B.C. and the calm waters of the protected Inside Passage of Vancouver Island make Marine adventure Tours a comfortable and fun activity for our visitors. Campbell River is the closest place to Vancouver and Victoria to view Grizzly Bears. We are in prime Grizzly bear country, right at the southern range of the Great Bear Rainforest.
