Tofino Whale Watching
Whales can be seen around the year in Tofino. Migrating Humpbacks join resident Grays from March to September and roaming Orcas year round. Between March and May up to 25,000 Gray Whales travel through Clayoquot Sound on their migration from Baja in Mexico to Alaska.Many of these whales take advantage of the ample foodsources in the pristine waters around Tofino. They can be seen in feeding, breaching and sometimes just taking it easy. Nothing quite like a whiff of whale breath for an invigorating day on the water.
A number of experienced operators offer tours on a variety of vessels, from comfortable ships with all amenities to fast zodiacs for the more rugged whale watcher. Scenic flights offer a unique perspective of whales in the water.
