Last week was a good one for us in terms of wildlife sightings. We saw a Gray whale one day, a Humpback the next, then a group of Orcas and we also saw a healthy Black Bear sow with her TRIPLETS a couple of time. Most days we saw sea otters, all this along with the “usual” sightings of sea lions, seals, a multitude of eagles and other sea birds.

This week we were lucky enough to experience a great wolf sighting in the Broken Group Islands! We saw a splash, then saw a wolf swimming across a small channel & get out on the next island, shake himself, stare at us for a moment, then disappear into the bushes!
Thanks to Dane McArthur for letting us share his photo.
A rather bedraggled looking Bald eagle ….. we had a great tour yesterday, despite the rainy conditions.
Luckily we were unperturbed by yesterday’s strong winds. We chose a sheltered route that kept us mostly out of the wind, found an incredibly beautiful place to anchor for lunch and had some good animal sightings along the way!
Spring is a beautiful time of year in the Broken Group Islands when the colours are vibrant, the water so clear that it gets hard to tell where the water and air meet.
We love our new location at the Canadian Princess Lodge & Marina, located at 1943 Peninsula Rd.
Yesterday we ran our first tour of the season. We had sunny skies, good views and wildlife sightings, a delicious gourmet meal catered by Heartwood Kitchen while anchored in the Broken Group Islands and we even saw three Gray whales!
We are excited about our beautiful new location! As of 2019 our tours will run out of the marina at the Canadian Princess Lodge located at 1943 Peninsula Rd in Ucluelet.
