Bear Watching in Tofino, B.C.
While on our summer trip up the west coast of Vancouver Island in beautiful British Columbia, Canada, we found bears in the wild getting their morning breakfast!
In this video, we take the dinghy to the eastern side of Tofino through the McBey Islets to Dawley Passage Provincial Park where we found the first black bear. After oohing and awing over this amazing creature, we headed northeast into the Kirshaw Islets where we find bear #2. Unfortunately, bear #2 was quick to get back into the brush so we headed back to the Tofino Resort and Marina for a warm shower and lunch!
Overall, successful bear watching trip. We hope you get as excited as we were to see wild black bears!
Tofino Bear Watching Tour - Remote Passages Marine Excursions
This is the only black bear that we managed to locate during our bear watching excursion in Tofino, BC in early April 2009. We went out with a company called Remote Passages Marine Excursions and they were fantastic!

9 More Must Do's Vancouver Island, BC (Near Victoria)
This video is about 9 more things to do on Vancouver Island in or near to Victoria, British Columbia. All of the activities were Free (if you have your own bikes) except for the sea plane tour. We barley scratched the surface of things to do here.
Our 9 more must do’s include:
Visiting Bear Mountain Resort., A local activity based resort just outside the city of Victoria. We chose to mountain bike but you can golf, play tennis, go to the spa or dine at the restaurant.
We drove out to Port Renfrew. This was a two hour drive from Victoria where we hiked to Sombrio Beach to a hidden waterfall, Botanical beach to look at the tidal pools and Fairy Lake, home of a tiny Douglas Fir tree growing out of a submerged log. Finally, on the way back to Victoria we visited Sheringham Lighthouse, an old lighthouse built in 1912 along the rugged coast line. This was one long but amazingly adventurous day.
We took a drive to Cowichan Valley - here we cycled the Cowichan Valley Trail along the Kinsol trestle and then hiked Old Baldy Mountain to a secret swing overlooking Shawnigan lake.
The last two activities were right in Victoria. The Galloping Goose trail is an amazing cycling path that links Victoria to Sooke and is 55km in length. There are many places to park along the way.
Last but not least was our Sea Plane tour around Vancouver Island. The island is so beautiful to see by air and worth the expense of the trip.
We hope these activities will make it easy for you when planning your family adventures to Vancouver Island.

Early Morning Cruise - Sit Back Sunday GoPro Boat Cruise
It was overcast but deadly calm when we departed from our weekend getaway spot early on a Sunday morning. Despite being somewhat cloudy, it looked so pretty that I wanted to share it with you, especially since this was filmed on the Labour Day long weekend and knowing that the season was starting to wind down.
For a look at the full weekend cruise to this spot, you can watch that video here:
