Coastal British Columbia is rich in history and spectacular scenery
The rich and diverse wildlife and the scenery is genuinely spectacular. The Discovery Island region is steeped in history and home to 6 sets of ocean rapids! From the notorious Seymour Narrows (which can reach speeds of nearly 30km/hr) just north of Campbell River to the Arran Rapids at the entrance to Bute Inlet. The opportunity to see the mighty torrent of white water, whirlpools and abundance of wildlife supported by these incredibly rich currents is a unique experience you won’t find anywhere else in the world.
The team at Discovery Marine Safaris are committed to sharing our knowledge and passion with everyone that visits this remarkable north central region of Vancouver Island, that we call home. Our on board Marine Naturalists are some of the finest on the coast, continuously interacting with our guests and interpreting all that this diverse ecosystem has to behold. Our Captains have all spent most of their lives sailing the waters off BC’s coast. It will be hard to find a more experienced, engaging or passionate crew. Discover why we respect the whales and how we protect them as an extension of the Campbell River community. We hope you will join us on a whale watching safaris and marine wildlife tours.
Highlight of my Canada trip!
We went Whale Watching with Captain John and had such an amazing time! The weather was great and the scenery of the Coastal Mountains and Vancouver Island was just stunning! We saw three Orca families, the calves playing and jumping in the water. Definitely the highlight of the 4h trip! Captain John also took us to Mitlenatch Island Nature Provincial Park where we saw different birds, eagles and sea lions. All in all a great experience with lots of information regarding the animals and the whole ecosystem. I can highly recommend doing this trip at least once in your lifetime!
