Hi, Just wanted to drop a note and thank ocean outfitters staff for accommodating my 2 whale tours on Saturday Mar 30th. I missed the 1 pm zodiac but, everyone at ocean outfitters bent over backwards to ensure I made the 1 pm excursion and called the zodiac back to pick me up....wow...for that I am very thankful. Who knows... More

My husband & I took this whale tour after years of dreaming of it. I had travelled to Newfoundland 4 years prior and had no luck at all seeing my long sought after whales. The waters were quite rough but our young captain/guide had us riding the crest of the waves with great skill-it was fabulous and exhilarating! Not long... More

Oct 17 2012 - 1:00 pm departure (on time!) our adventure guide and skipper Ron took us through some safety instructions (very reassuring as it was a very windy day with high waves) and a brief description of what he had planned for us during our 3 hour tour. He was extremely courteous, knowledgeable and made sure that our trip... More

10am departure on 6th October 2012. Left on time with the captain taking us through good areas to spot whales. Made a good effort spotting even though whale watching was only a small part no the trip. We saw sea lions, seals, gray whales and a small pod of orca's. Really pleased, dropped off for springs for around 2.5hrs then... More

Ocean Outfitters is a very professional operation in Tofino. We took the Hot Springs trip; they also offer whale watching. It's about a 6 hour trip, more than an hour on the water each way and a few hours at the hot springs. Our captain, Misty, knew the area very well, the history of the First Nation peoples on the...

We had read about the Tofino Hot Springs and had hoped the 20 mile (each way) boat trip would also allow us to see whales and other wildlife. We lucked out with great weather and flat seas. Ocean Outfitters did an over the top job for us. The boat is comfortable and has seating in and outside. Our guide answered... More

Took the 6ish hour Hot Spring tour. Takes 1.5 hours to get there and back, and they leave you for a few hours to explore. The boat ride was a lot of fun bouncing around. It's quite the trek to the Hot Springs, so make sure you're OK with a 2.5km walk with about 200 stairs in between scattered at... More

We went on the 3 hour Whale cruise this week and would highly recommend it! The Captain of the boat was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable! At the end she spotted a Pod of Orcas and took extra time to let us follow them. We were not expecting to see these beautiful animals (nor was she) but what an awesome surprise!... More

We had a fantastic experience with Ocean Outfitters. We did three trips with them - Whale Watching (Rib), Bear Watching and Meares Island. They were extremely helpful and the guides were very knowledgeable. I think we were fortunate with the time of year we went but they know exactly where to go to give you the best chance of seeing...
