Bear Watching in a Covered Boat

Every day at low tide, black bears can be seen wandering out of the temperate rainforest and onto the rocky shores of Barkley Sound to forage for food. This natural behaviour provides an excellent opportunity to view black bears, often seen with their cubs, turning massive rocks in search of Rock Crabs and clams. Traveling along the stunning shoreline of the Sound provides a chance to see sea lions, seals, herons, eagles and lots of other wildlife in their natural environment.

Dates: Early Apr – Late October

Duration: Approx. 2.5 - 3 hours

Departure: Vary from day-to-day based on low tide times when bears emerge from the forest to forage for shellfish.
