Marine Adventure Tours
Welcome to Remote Passages Marine Excursions. Whether whale watching, bear watching, dipping into Hot Springs Cove or sea kayaking to a rainforest trail, visitors have enjoyed our eco tours since 1986.
We launch out of Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island, just minutes from Long Beach and Pacific Rim National Park. Tofino is part of Clayoquot Sound, a vast temperate rainforest area of extensive beaches and deep fjord inlets. At Remote Passages, we are committed to preserving the ecological value and timeless wonder of this very special place.
Whale Watching
Remote Passages brings many years of experience and a responsible approach to whale watching in Tofino on the west coast.
Bear Watching
A quiet-water excursion: watch black bears come out of the rainforest to feed on crunchy crab, clams & barnacles.
Hot Springs Cove
Join us for a boat ride and hike to Maquinna Provincial Park’s natural sulphur hot springs, and engage in a truly magical soak.
Sea Kayaking
Our sea kayaking day trips bring you to quiet waters where rainforest, beaches and tidal flats surround you.
