Our note

This is the only route on the site that fits a whole group on one boat with a schedule you choose, so it is the one to ask about for a class. The form asks for a date, a departure town and a passenger count, and the reply comes back with a quote.

What the children do

A customisable private charter departing from Tofino or Ucluelet on any vessel in the fleet, booked through an inquiry form rather than the online calendar. The site lists the tour as all ages with a customisable duration, and says rates start at $850 per hour plus taxes and fees with a two hour minimum, depending on which vessel is chosen. The Lukwa can host up to 45 passengers, and the form offers passenger bands of 1 to 12, 13 to 30 and 31 to 45. Published options include a whale and bear combo, bird watching, a remote picnic on a landing craft with catered lunch on request, and a sunset cruise.

Good to know

Rates start at $850 an hour with a two hour minimum, so the cost per child depends entirely on how many come. Nothing about children's groups, chaperone numbers or lunch arrangements is published, so ask all of it in the inquiry.

Sources disagree. Two of their pages disagree about how many toilets are on the big Tofino whale boat. One says two, the other says one. Either way there is a toilet on board, so it only matters if you are bringing a large group of small children.

Washrooms

Depending on what vessel you are travelling on during your tour you may or may not have access to a washroom. Our larger vessels all have washrooms onboard for use. On our smaller vessels including our Zodiacs, we have small marine toilets that are for emergency use only.

Lunch space

Snacks and drinks are allowed on board the Tofino whale watching and sea otter vessels. Food and scented items are not allowed on bear watching tours. The site does not describe an indoor lunch space on shore.

Rain backup

Our tours are Rain or Shine and we ask that you check the forecast prior to arriving for your departure and dress accordingly. On occasion, if the sea conditions are too rough we will cancel or delay our departures.
