Their flagship trip, The Ultimate Tofino Adventure, is a full-throttle day on the water and in the forest, inviting guests to carve out their own adventure narrative.

Launching from the marina, you'll step aboard a private 32-inch Kingfisher boat, a vessel built for both comfort and capacity to navigate the complex channels of Clayoquot Sound. As the engine purrs, the scenery unfolds: towering evergreens, rugged shoreline, and hidden coves.

Along the way, crab traps are dropped, inviting a hands-on peek into local seafood harvesting traditions.

Wildlife encounters are woven into the journey—spot breaching whales, or perhaps catch a glimpse of black bears scouring the shoreline. Picnicking on board or ashore amid towering trees adds a laid-back, immersive element to the day.
