About
The First in the World Certified Responsible Whale Watching Company.
Eagle Eye Adventures is a company that specializes in offering whale watching and wildlife tours in the coastal waters of British Columbia, Canada. The company operates from the town of Campbell River on Vancouver Island, which is known for its abundant marine life and stunning scenery.
Eagle Eye Adventures' whale-watching tours are led by experienced guides who use their knowledge of the local ecosystem to help guests spot and learn about various species of whales, including humpback whales, orcas, and gray whales. The tours also provide opportunities to see other marine wildlife, such as dolphins, sea lions, and bald eagles.
In addition to whale watching, Eagle Eye Adventures also offers bear-watching tours, where guests can observe black bears in their natural habitat, as well as wildlife eco-tours that focus on the diverse flora and fauna of the region.

We did the 6 hours whale watching tour in a covered boat. It was fantastic. Super crew and we saw whales jumping out of the water, a bear, seals and bald eagles.
The snack, Rentia prepared for us, was delicious.
We would highly recommend this tour.

The Grizzly Bear Tour is an experience of a lifetime! I had been on Eagle Eye's whale watching tours before and was always happy with our experiences with whales, dolphins and other animals so I had good expectations of their Grizzly Tour. The results were beyond my expectations! I am one of the lucky few who had the experience of watching wild Grizzly Bears in their natural environment. Feasting on salmon, swimming with their young, it was breath taking! To top the experience off our tour guide, Jos Krynen, is also a wildlife photographer so I let him fuss with the camera allowing me to just "be in the moment" with the bears. Jos shared his amazing photos which now adorn my wall. I can't say enough on how wonderful Eagle Eye Adventure's Grizzly Bear Expedition was!

We booked our trip 6 days in advance for 2 adults. We signed some waivers before start of the trip. We had a nice sunny warm day in September without rain and enjoyed this trip very much because we were so lucky to see so many animals. On the way to Toba River we listened to the information Jos gave us about (grizzly) bears and were treated a snack (muffin) and drinks. On the main land we are welcomed by the Klahoose and their bus. The bus drove us to the watch tower(s) standing along the river bed at different places. If there were no sightings of animals for a while, it is checked with the other towers if grizzlies are sighted at one of the other towers and the bus takes you there. I did not notice the other towers while in one of them. So they are not next to each other. We stayed with our group of max 12 persons together in the bus and tower. We spent at least 3 hours at the towers and sighted 12 different grizzly bears including mothers with cubs. The adult bears feasted on the salmon which are in the river and took the time to demonstrate how to eat a salmon as a bear. Wonderful sight which I will not forget. The complete group was enthusiastic and very impressed with the experience. We also viewed 3 turkey vultures. In the afternoon the bus drove us back to the boat and (chilled) lunches were available on board together with drinks. We stopped shortly at a waterfall and also had the pleasure to see sea lions, whales, porpoise and last but not least orcas. Jos specially sailed in the direction of orca's which are sighted by other boats. Actually we were on our way back to the marina of Campbell River.
Ethel was also on board to help out and learn about this trip and she was a pleasant guide as well.
I would recommend this trip to everyone who enjoys nature and wildlife and maybe you feel as lucky as we did.
On our trip we were with 5 couples, 4 Dutch and 1 mixed (South Africa and UK?) and another male and female.

Fantastic whale watching trip in covered boat on 5th Oct. The boat is fully accessible and so well equipped! We are so grateful to Jos and his fantastic team for giving us the trip of a lifetime! We saw sea lions, seals, and pods of humpback whales and orcas! What a wonderful experience! Jos is a kind man who clearly cares deeply about both his customers safety and comfort, as well as the abundant nature he showed us.
Eagle Eye Adventures is the best! the trip was worth every cent! We will be back next year, perhaps for the grizzly tour!
Thank you again Jos for making the trip possible and so special for all of us, including of course our son who is in a wheelchair. We all loved it!

We took the zodiac whale watching trip and we’re rewarded with multiple humpback whale sightings, including breaches, fin slapping. The stop for lunch was at a great spot and was good.

The entire adventure was well worth it. There were many humpback whales to observe. Our captain was an excellent guide and had an abundant wealth of knowledge. We learned many facts about whales, the islands, and the ocean. The adventure was on time and the lunch provided was above expectations. We would highly recommend Eagle Eye.

Thanks to Jos for an amazing sunset cruise
Just behind Quadra we found a Family of humpbacks encouraging their little one to breach. One hour later and seeing the most activity on the water that I have seen ever in my 15 plus years of living here, we cruised home!
Blissful!

Took a 4 hour covered boat expedition on the morning of August 17, 2022. The boat was comfortable and fast, allowing us to reach some pristine, uninhabited inlets on the mainland. It was billed as a wildlife tour, and we did see several whales. No land animals, unfortunately, even though we paused near a clearcut that was known to be fruitful for bear sightings. Our guide was knowledgeable and candid. Highly recommended.

Hey, I‘m interested in joining the Grizzly Tour. I‘ve read that the whole tour is about 8 hours. How long do you observe the Grizzlys and how close are the observation platforms near the river/the bears? Is October still a good time to see the bears and how are the chances for Orcas?

Hi , the trip over to the Island to us is about 6 hours, no transportation via bus on the island, sorry.
Rent a car is the only option.
The 145 dollar tour is the 4 hr wildlife tour.
Hope this answers your question, if you need more information could you please email us.
Thanks Jos.

I would like to bring a group of 4 whale watching on July 1-2 or 3. I know that is not an ideal time of year to whale watch. Do you take people out then? If so do you have any open spots for booking?
Thanks

Hi Terry,
From what I know the summer is the best time to go. They even give a guarantee on some tours because they pretty much see them everyday. They run tours everyday all summer. I would give them a call. They are very accommodating.

I think you may have posted your question in the wrong place. I do not work at Eagle Eye Adventures.
However, as far as I know, any time is a good time to whale watch!

Hi. I am thinking of going on one of your trips in early July, along with my girlfriend and uncle, if you still have availability. Your company has been recommended to us. I do have a couple of questions.
We are traveling from Scotland, and will be in Canada for 3 weeks. We want this trip to be the highlight of our visit. I am a wildlife biologist, so understand all about the unpredictability of seeing animals. So, in your professional opinion, which of your trips would you recommend at the time we are going to be there? Of course, we would love to see whales (orcas, grey whales, humpbacks), but I understand that our chances of seeing the migratory species might not be high in early July. It would also be great to see bears (both species). One last thing - I am an ornithologist, so would love the trip to involve some birdwatching.
So, what do you think? Which trip would suit us best, and what are our prospects of seeing the above wildlife.
Cheers,
Nigel

Hello Nigel,
First of all tanks for your interest in Eagle Eye Adventures!
What I would recommend for you and the family is the whale watch trip, we always do our utmost best to show you as much as we can, keeping in mind it is wildlife.
I do know some spots that we keep a secret where we have seen mating grizzly bears the last couple of days, also we are pretty lucky with seeing black and cinnamon bears.
I love birds myself as well and I'm a huge fan of the Bald Eagle, we will see those majestic animals all the time on our trips and when we time the trip right we might even be able to see them by the hundreds feeding in the Rapids.
Still it's wildlife......,,,,
I hope this will answer your question and we would like to meet you in person soon.
Cheers Jos
