2 for 1 Family Whale Watching Special, Tofino BC

2 for 1 Whale Watching Fun

Kids ride FREE with every adult fare through May 30.

If watching a 40 ton Gray Whale breach isn’t on your Bucket List, it sure should be. With Clayoquot Sound as a backdrop, the splash and majesty of it all makes SeaWorld look like mini-whales frolicking in a kiddie pool.

Every year like clockwork, over 20,000 Gray Whales make their way north from Mexico’s Baja Peninsula to summer feeding grounds in Alaska. That’s a 7,000 mile swim – the longest migration of any mammal on Earth.

Which means by March, it’s prime time viewing in our waters as a steady stream of blowholes cruise by through May.

For a closer look, check out our 2 for 1 Family Whale Watching Special. Book to stay between now and May 30, and each child (under 18) tours FREE for each paying adult, senior or student.

Book now to save, and let’s get this awe-inspiring experience checked off that list of yours.
