When you book a journey that includes wildlife viewing along BC's central coast, where catching sight of orcas, humpbacks, dolphins, grizzlies and the rare white Kermode (Spirit Bear) is a typical day, you know you're not on an ordinary boat trip. But then, an Ocean Adventures tour to the biodiversity jackpot that is the Great Bear Rainforest is no ordinary expedition.
North Vancouver-based Ocean Adventures offers five- to 10-day coastal and ocean tours (plus custom trips) to the remote habitats of The Great Bear Rainforest and Haida Gwaii (often coined Canada's Galapagos); it's one of North America's richest biological and cultural preserves including the UNESCO World Heritage Site SGang Gwaay.
With Ocean Adventures, itineraries are quashed. Weather, tides and the best viewing spots, which inherently fluctuate, dictate your daily compass. The wildlife is unpredictable; they wander and follow the food source, and in turn, the Great Bear II 54-ft motor yacht is navigated accordingly.
