Our zodiak whale watch tour out of Telegraph Cove was the highlight of our trip to Vancouver…read moreIsland, no question. We had a beautiful day, which helped. But what made it really special was our wonderful James. He was the perfect blend of knowing the wildlife and their local habits combined with a warm and charming personality. We didn't see orca, but there were quite a few humpback whales. And we were lucky enough to closely see a pod of Dall's Porpoises (tiny orcas, so cute!). It was a great experience.

We really enjoyed our tour with Sea Wolf adventures on Sunday September 28th…read more The crew.....Hannah and Luc John were just awesome, thoughtful and knowledgeable. We saw a humpback whale show on our way out of Port McNeill and also a rock island covered in sea lions. We went to 3 separate sights and watched a total of 7 grizzly bears . We one large male at a distance and 2 moms and cubs. Our boat was comfortable and the life jackets were ea to wear. The meals were fine. The bathroom was clean . It was a long day...7-4:00 and it pour rain all day. I would definitely recommend this company,it was like being on a Safari.

I have mixed feelings about the tour we went on…read more On the one hand, all the people we interacted with from Sea Wolf Adventures were great. They were friendly, warm and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they were doing. The boats were brand new and were very nice and comfortable. The life vests also felt rather new and not bulky at all. Binoculars were provided for everyone and they were good quality Vortex binoculars. The provided breakfast and lunch were very good. We got to see a Grizzly Bear mom and her two cubs who were adorable. We were also lucky enough to see a pod of Orcas as well as some Humpback Whales . However this is a long tour. We arrived at 6:30 AM and got back at 4 PM. The schedule for the tour was roughly: 6:30 AM - 8 AM: Prepare for tour 8 AM - 10 AM: Boat out to Grizzly Bear viewing area 10 AM - 12 PM: Look for Grizzly Bears (actually view Grizzly Bears for about an hour) 12 PM - 1 PM: Lunch and learn Indigenous history and culture 1 PM - 4 PM: Boat back to Port McNeill (stop for 1 hour to see Whales) The ride to and from the Grizzly Bear viewing area is not entirely calm even though we are not on the open sea. In fact the ride back was quite bumpy and I felt like I was on a boat for the rest of the day. This tour is also not cheap. With all taxes and fees, the cost is $600. If your primary goal is to see Grizzly Bears then you have to ask is it worth it to pay $600 to watch one Grizzly Bear and maybe some cubs for one hour as part of a 10 hour day. Also do not expect to be able to see the Grizzly Bears up close. All the boats that were viewing the Grizzly Bears kept a good distance away. This is not like your zoo or rescue shelter where the Grizzly Bears are only a few feet away. I have attached the best photos I took but understand these photos are at 30x zoom. We were fortunate to have seen Grizzly Bears and Orcas but at the end of the tour we weren't sure if we would do it again. Still it was a good experience and Sea Wolf Adventures does everything it can to make it successful.
