Why you should go…

Wild Waterways Adventures is an Indigenous-owned, female-led company running small-group wildlife trips in the Discovery Islands of British Columbia. You travel by boat through fjords and tidal rapids looking for whales, bald eagles and grizzly and black bears, or switch to a kayak around the Octopus Islands. Tours leave from Quathiaski Cove on Quadra Island, with pickups at Discovery Harbour Marina in Campbell River.

Good to know

General tours guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Confirm the meeting point

    It is often a corner, a lobby, or a dock rather than the address you searched for. Check it the night before.

  • Small groups fill first

    In high season the intimate departures sell out well before the big-bus options do.

  • Ask how much is on foot

    Knowing how much of the route is walking, standing, or outdoors tells you what to wear and carry.

  • Read the weather policy

    Cancellation windows and rain rules vary by operator, and they are easier to find before you pay than after.
