    Was not aware that floatplanes came in smaller sizes than the Harbour Air ones. But as far as I'm…read moreconcerned...the smaller the better. For some reason, just feel safer in smaller planes. Just don't tell my mom. She's still getting over the whole "scuba diving with sharks" thing. I am lucky enough that I get to take float planes to the island(s) for work. I know, it's a tough job. This was a 2 day meeting that included a kayak picnic dinner and lunch on a sunny patio. Not even going to tell you who i work for!! Needless to say the flight over was awesome, very relaxed. We boarded from the Fraser river "terminal" where our pilot showed up about 5 min before flight. They proceeded to guestimate our luggage weight and off we went to Gabriola! Sweet ride. The whole experience though was all about our experience from Gabriola to Richmond...first off, you cannot beat the "airport" sign (pic attached) not to mention our pilot who had us all in song before take of. Funniest guy ever. He clearly loves his job and does it well. Highly recommend it.

On the way back she fell asleep. The landing was smooth and inside was not too noisy if you wear the ear protection. The customer service was very friendly and we even got a extra tour to see the mountain caves on the way home. The ride to the Hot Springs is about 20 minutes both ways and it's absolutely breathtaking to see the views. Their shop is right in the middle of Tofino and you can call and book. I would recommend booking in advance. The plane seats six and one lucky passenger could even sit in the front beside the pilot.

Would it be better if there was an awesome series lf hiking trails right outside your door? Would it be even better if the staff were some of the kindest people in the world and the whole thing felt like home? Well, Klahoose is all of this and more. It is also native-owned and offers a real chance to immerse yourself in indigenous Salish Coast culture. This place will rejuvenate you and change your life.

A resort that reflects the Klahoose traditional values and offers an immersive exploration into this pristine region rich in diverse wilderness, cultural significance and wildlife including late summer and fall grizzly bear viewing tours in Toba Inlet. Located within the heart of Desolation Sound, Klahoose Wilderness Resort, formerly known as Homfray Lodge, resides upon Homfray Channel between the Coast Mountain peaks of British Columbia's Sunshine Coast and the Northern Islands of the Salish Sea. Newly arrived guests join together on the lodge's verandah where they welcomed with a traditional Klahoose greeting. Worries instantly disappear as osprey call across the Sound, the vision of an orca's distinct dorsal fin breaks the water's surface, and the ocean breeze wafts through the surrounding conifer forest. Over the course of this exquisite visit, guests "Answer the Call" to embrace the natural and Indigenouse spirit of the place. Season is from May to October and stays are with all-inclusive 3 and 4 night wildlife and cultural packages.

If you're…read moreused to a pilot/captain who gives a narrative of what you are seeing, pick another company. Marcus was very disappointing pointing out what we were seeing. He blamed it on the head sets. In the morning we took a boat ride to see bears, sea lions, harbor seals and he spent time pointing out many things. Unfortunately the flight yielded ziltch with info. I would in the future ask 2 questions. 1-does the pilot narrate & 2-do the headphones work & if not will he just narrate loudly. Our group felt he just went through the motions. Money not well spent.

I'm usually the one who feels the pressure to watch the purse strings on vacation, but this was a once in a lifetime thing and hands down the best way to really soak up the beauty of the area. Plus, Jason is a long-time resident and business owner, and we got some really good tips about what to do, where to go, where to eat -- all the stuff you want to know when you're seeing a place for the first time. Highly recommend.

Funny, friendly and patient. We saw a mom and her cub at the first view point. I didn't see any more bears after that but I thought seeing one was a huge blessing. If you want to safely see bears being bears this is the tour. Maybe we'd see more in a week or two but I'm happy with all the wildlife we saw. Thank you Conrad, Justice, Clyde and Debra!

Cassie especially was so sweet and willing to share aspects of her culture with the group, she sang songs and told stories, i felt like i walked away with new knowledge and understanding! the boat itself is great, 3 rows of seats on the inside and 3 rows on the outside, you're able to switch back and forth from the cabin to the deck as you wish which was super awesome to get views and pictures. we saw orcas, dolphins, seals, sea lions, deers, and tons of bald eagles. you can tell Brendan really loves what he does and his excitement and energy really translated to all of us. lunch was supplied and super yummy! the 7 hour tour flew by, i was sad to leave! definitely recommend this amazing tour. NOTE: make sure to bring a rain jacket no matter how nice the day is! it can get super chilly and wet out on the waters :)

Zack took an incredible amount of time for our tour and gave us a personalized adventure.  We were also blessed to see whales, porpoise, urchins, starfish,  seals, sea lions. He knew all the places to go and gave such an amazing insight of the different islands and mountains. He also gave us snacks and beverages from locally sourced places. Literally we could not have asked for better and it was even more amazing than we could have imagined.  When we come back we will ONLY book here.

From…read morethe moment we walked on the dock, Captain Zach welcomed us on board, and made is feel comfortable and safe, he even had a scavenger hunt game prepared for our toddler! Once we were on our way, the learning began! Did you know that oysters are one of the most sustainable forms of aquaculture? Or that one little oyster filters a bathtub of water per day, keeping our oceans clean, pristine, fresh and beautiful? We learned so many incredible facts about his family oyster farm, the innovation they are adding to the industry, oysters as a species and the local aquaculture. The boat has both inside cabin space and outside deck space, making it great to enjoy the sea breeze and spray, but also shade from the hot sun. Captain Zach has an incredibly deep knowledge of the Discovery Islands and Desolation Sound, pointing out mountains, islands, bays and even rock formations, and added a depth of history to everything he shared. His passion to share this area of Vancouver Island is contagious! We saw a pod of dolphins, sea lions, eagles, all sorts of waterfowl. At no moment did we feel rushed, it was a beautiful leisurely day on the water - that also kept at 3 year old happy and engaged all day - and ended with the a delicious feast of oysters. We all had a blast and can't wait to be back.

We saw Pacific White Sided Dolphins in a group of 150+, Sea Lions feeding on salmon, Humpback Whale mother and calf, black bear and incredible tidal whirlpools. Everday is different when you go out. Today's tour took us through Discovery Passage and around Sonora with dockside lunch on Stuart Island at Big Bay. Jos and Rentia are incredibly kind, courteous and experienced. Very safety oriented and well connected with the local guiding and business community. Their Ikaika enclosed boat was very clean, quiet, fast and accesible for all abilities. Highly recommend Eagle Eye. If your fortunate to get Jos, he'll share some great life stories, photography and deep ethic for protecting the Pacific coast, its wildlife, and our planet.
