Campbell River Whale Watching

Wilderness International
  • Tour operator for whale and grizzly watching from Campbell River, BC
  • Major logistical support for our expeditions since 2014
  • Since 2018, CO2 compensation by protecting forests as a habitat for salmon and grizzlies 

Since the beginning of our involvement in the Toba Valley, Campbell River Whale Watching has supported us with its expertise in the region with transportation to get to the Toba Valley.
As a wildlife watching tour operator, Campbell River Whale Watching thrives on spectacular natural landscapes and intact habitats. That's why the Canadian company has decided to say thank you to nature for the amazing experiences it provides every day.

 

Since 2018, Campbell River Whale Watching, together with its customers, has been offsetting its entire consumption of nature, measured as a carbon footprint, every year by protecting temperate rainforest directly on site in British Columbia. In 2018, 1 m2 of old-growth forest was preserved forever with every guest, and in 2019 this figure was increased even further through voluntary customer donations. Since 2018, at least 1.5 times as much land has been protected as would be needed to offset the carbon footprint, thereby taking sustainable responsibility for the protection of habitats and biodiversity.

 

The protected areas on the Toba River are the primary spawning grounds for salmon. By preserving the salmon population, Campbell River Whale Watching customers also secure the livelihood of whales, grizzlies and other animals they want to observe on their tours. The protection of local forests is tangible and directly linked to the customer's experience.

 

Campbell River Whale Watching and Adventure Tours is one of the leading providers of whale watching tours in the Vancouver Island region. Thanks to many years of experience, the company brings its customers closer to the fascinating nature of the region in new ways time and time again. Special underwater microphones, for example, enable guests to hear the vocalizations of the orcas. As an active member of the North Island Marine Mammal Stewardship Association, Campbell River Whale Watching is committed to prioritizing responsible wildlife viewing. The boats are also exclusively equipped with state-of-the-art engines to reduce underwater noise and pollution.
