It has been foggy starts to our last two days here in Tofino. WASCO has had the radar going for our morning trips to help guide Keith and Jeff through the waters. However despite the fog everywhere West Coast Aquatic Safaris guests have been having some great trips. Our bear watch this morning had a foggy start but once out on the water our guests enjoyed watching two different black bears. They were able to get up close to these bears and got some great photos!

Windy day!
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009
So the sun has decided to shine today but the winds have come in strong today. It is still safe to go out to the ocean for whale watching however there is an increased chance for sea sickness on days like this. West Coast Aquatic Safaris wants to help our guests have the best possible time out on the water and will always inform our guests of the conditions. Here are a few tips for when you are out on the water and starting to feel a bit sick:
Sunny day!
Sunday, August 23rd, 2009
It is a beautiful day here in Tofino. West Coast Aquatic Safaris staff are trying their best to soak it up because the forecast is looking cloudy for the next couple of days! It has been great for whale watchers out on WASCO. We have been watching humpback whales today down at Long Beach. Yesterday was what we like to call whale soup! There were humpbacks, gray whales and orcas! With so many whales we are looking forward to some great photos from our guests for the photo of the week contest!
Humpbacks and a Sunfish!
Thursday, August 20th, 2009
The last few days West Coast Aquatic Safaris guests have been enjoying seeing the humpback whales down at Long Beach. It is not too often that the humpbacks can be found at the same spot for several days in a row. So we have really been lucky to have them there. They have been doing a lot of breaching, tail fluking and fin slapping and our guests have been getting some amazing photos.
Orcas and Photos!
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009
West Coast Aquatic Safaris guests had a great day out on the water yesterday. The humpback whales were very active down at Long Beach again. It has been three days in a row that we have been able to view these great animals down at Long Beach. We also were able to catch up with the orcas later in the day. Our guests were thrilled to have the opportunity to see these transient killer whales passing through.
Humpback days!
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009
The last couple of days have been great for West Coast Aquatic Safaris guests for viewing humpback whales. Jeff has been taking WASCO down to Long Beach where the humpback whales have been for the past couple of days. And they have been giving our guests amazing shows! The humpbacks have been very active with lots of breaching, fin slapping and tail fluking. Giving our guests a great opportunity to see these great animals active in the wild.
Farewell to a Dear Friend
Sunday, August 16th, 2009
West Coast Aquatic Safaris staff really enjoy being able to bring their dogs to work. Juliet is always happy to greet guests coming by the office and is always looking for a pet! When Henry stops by he is immediately your best friend and is happy to play with anyone who is willing. Oscar who was supposed to only visit for a couple of weeks ended up staying here for over a month and a half and enjoyed his time at the office greeting guests and walking down to WASCO with everyone.
Sunshine!
Thursday, August 13th, 2009
The sun finally came out yesterday and is trying its best to show up today too! West Coast Aquatic Safaris was busy with lots of people stopping by the office. Staff enjoyed walking the guests down to WASCO and getting a bit of sunshine along the way. Juliet made a point of spending most of the day on the front porch basking in the sunshine.
