Is exhilarating to ride around the boat during good weather and feel the wind on your face. I didn't move fast enough though. I wasn't really able to get a seat upstairs, but that's OK. Still had a great seat at the front of the boat or the back of the boat seeing the whales and other animals. The tour guides are extremely friendly and informative. Saw a couple of whales (one named OC orange crush) and some whole big boy sea lions and gangs of otters and Eagles.

We did the hot springs tour with Captain Alastair. We had the chance to book a slightly cheaper…read moretour with our hotel, but I'm so glad we stuck with the Whale Centre bc of Captain Alastair. He was exactly who I imagine a wise grey-haired sea captain to be. He started the tour by acknowledging that we're in the unceded lands of First Nation tribes and shared many stories about the islands and animals we saw. He also knew that there were swells and took us on a slightly longer route that kept us out of super bumpy water. We heard later that the other boats took the typical route and a ton of ppl got seasick, while we were all fine. We saw otters, seas, hawks, and Captain Alastair even took "a diversion" to make sure we got to see a grey whale. We were also in a "cabin cruiser" which was covered and made it a very comfortable ride. I also appreciated their grey life buoy vests which were less obstructive/bulky than the usual life vests. The hot springs were as we expected based on reading reviews. Cramped but still so cool being in a natural hot spring. We enjoyed the long walking there and back too (prepare for a lot of up and down)! It was a great experience overall and I highly recommend the Whale Centre if you can get captain Alastair!

He asked 'do you want to fish, see wildlife, or do some crabbing?' I said 'can we do it all?' and he 'LETS DO IT.' He was super upfront about the price and more than fair in what we were able to get. We were even able to bring our dog along which was super cool and accommodating. He knows everything about Tofino and the local waters so we were able to get some good fish to bring back home. Can't wait to get back on the water this summer!

Brin was flexible with fitting us into his schedule after a scheduling mishap via a fishing website with another captain, and was excited to show us a good time on the water. You really cant make this up, but we had a bite as soon as the line hit the water, and another and another... 'this doesn't normally happen!' was the phrase my first time fishing wife kept hearing as she reeled 'em in. Brin even did the honor of preparing our fish for us, and gave us some great cooking tips. To top it off he showcased the trip with some spectacular views of whales, otters, seals, and eagles - per my wife's request. Charters cost money, and this guy knows how to make it count. Thanks Bin!

This was our third wildlife tour in a span of four days so at this point we had become…read morepseudo-experts. What I liked about Adventure Tofino Wildlife Tours is they are the most efficient. It was the shortest tour and within that time we saw harbour seals, a black bear and a raft of sea otters. The tour guide said his boat was the fastest in the fleet so we seemed to get to places quite quickly. The guide warned us we may not see black bears because they hadn't seen many. But then he heard where there was one and after fifteen or so minutes we got to the black bear. And like every tour we were respectfully far away from the black bear. I've attached a photo of the bear and it's at 30x zoom. For the harbor seals we were closer and even closer to the raft of sea otters, which was the highlight of the tour. I know that the black bear is supposed to be the highlight but I would rather see animals closer and it appeared that sea otters were not as skittish. As for equipment, this tour started at the nicest office though you have to pay for parking. The flotation suits looked quite new and very clean. This tour's boat was the most comfortable and easiest for viewing all around. Only one binocular was supplied for the whole tour to share so I was glad we brought our own. The whole tour cost almost $500 CAD. It's questionable whether it was worth it to see a black bear far away for twenty minutes, some harbor seals for a few minutes and a raft of sea otters for fifteen minutes. But I am glad we did it.

He offers the same rate as the shuttle (MUCH cheaper than a "private" water taxi) and took our group of six to the island. In addition he picked us up at the end of the trail---originally we planned to hike out and back but then we just wanted to hike one way. We called Eddie and he said sure---he picked us up off the rocks near Cow Bay, and there can't be many boat drivers who can negotiate those rocks safely and competently. Our ride back to Tofino was wonderful, zipping between islands through small channels and stopping to watch sea otters. If you want to go to Flores Island, Walk the Wild Side Trail, visit the Hot Springs, go anywhere near Tofino, I recommend Eddie.
