Private Wildlife Tours
Explore, Observe & Capture!
Join an experienced marine naturalist, wildlife photographer, and videographer for a private coastal adventure aboard a vessel operated by your guide. Explore BC’s rugged coastline while searching for humpback whales, orcas, sea lions, bald eagles, seabirds, and other coastal wildlife.
Bring your camera or simply take it all in. These private adventures are designed for photographers, families, couples, and groups of friends who want a more personal way to experience British Columbia’s wild coast.
What TO bring
Warm layered clothing and weather-appropriate outerwear are recommended for your day on the coast. Photographers are welcome to bring their preferred camera equipment, including a telephoto lens for wildlife. Cameras are completely optional, this experience is just as much about enjoying the coast as photographing it.
Included in Your Experience
Why Choose This Experience?
A private tour gives you the freedom to experience British Columbia’s coast at your own pace. With no larger group or fixed itinerary to follow, we can adapt the day around wildlife activity, weather, changing conditions, and the interests of your group.
Travel beyond the busy routes to explore remote islands, quiet waterways and rugged shorelines aboard your own private vessel. When we find something worth spending time with, we can slow down and enjoy the experience rather than rushing off to the next stop.
Whether you’re photographing wildlife, watching whales with your family, or simply exploring somewhere new, the day is yours.
Whether you’re hoping to photograph whales, bears, eagles and other coastal wildlife, or simply want to experience the wild beauty of the coast, your day is shaped around you.
PRIVATE WILDLIFE & PHOTO TOURS
Experience the wild coast of Vancouver Island on a private tour designed entirely around you.
With the boat reserved exclusively for your group, we have the freedom to explore, adapt to wildlife activity and changing conditions, and spend more time with the encounters that matter most to you.
For photographers, that means more time to work with changing light, positioning and wildlife behaviour without the pressure of a larger group tour. For wildlife enthusiasts, couples, families and friends, it means having the boat and the experience entirely to yourselves.
Every day on the coast is different. Whales, bears, bald eagles, sea lions and other wildlife can all be part of the experience, with the day's route shaped by conditions, recent sightings and what you'd most like to see.
Led by an experienced marine naturalist, wildlife photographer and local guide, these tours are about slowing down, observing natural behaviour and experiencing Vancouver Island's coast at your own pace.
