The labyrinth of bays and inlets within Clayoquot Sound provide spectacular viewing of wildlife from a safe and non-intrusive distance. As the tide ebbs, black bears tread across the exposed shorelines and mudflats, overturning stones in search of scuttling crabs, clams, and other seafood delights. We drift at a quiet distance, observing these magnificent creatures in their most natural of habitats, and often times our respectful approach allows our presence to go completely unnoticed to them.
