Full-Day Grizzly Bear and Wildlife Tour from Campbell River to Toba Inlet
See more
Discover the wild beauty of Vancouver Island on a full-day grizzly bear tour at Toba Inlet. Your adventure begins at the Campbell River marina, where you'll hop aboard a cozy, covered vessel equipped with a heated cabin and onboard washroom for comfort during the journey.
As you cruise for about 2.5 hours to Toba Inlet, keep your eyes peeled for marine wildlife like whales, dolphins, and sea lions. Your naturalist guides will share fascinating commentary along the way, making the trip as informative as it is scenic. Once you arrive at Toba Inlet—a remote fjord with towering mountains, emerald-green glacial waters, and waterfalls—you'll enjoy a delicious included lunch on the dock.
After lunch, Indigenous guides from the Klahoose First Nation will take you along the inlet's rivers in a van. You'll reach viewing platforms where, with safety in mind, you can watch grizzly bears catching salmon during their annual run. This immersive experience typically lasts around three hours, offering a rare glimpse into the bears' natural habitat. Afterward, you'll return to the boat for the journey back, with additional chances to spot whales and enjoy the stunning coastal scenery.
