We set out of Port Hardy in a fog bank but were quickly clear of it and learning about ancient First Nations use of all that the land and waters had to offer.
We were mesmerized by Dall and Harbour porpoises, sea lions, large numbers of sea otters (our main attraction) and we finished off the day being entertained by humpback whales. I really appreciated that Tom ensured that we were leaving ample room between the boat and the animals and at no point did I feel like we were harassing them.
The open zodiac tour was a lot of fun and by providing us all with buffs it ensured that we all wore masks when we weren't able to keep distant from each other. Just a stunning trip that I look forward to taking in again in the future.
I strongly recommend this company. read lessAJWheel -
Outstanding sea otter and wildlife tour with Coastal Rainforest Safaris! We had a fabulous wildlife tour with Andrew! We saw dozens of sea otters, Dall's porpoises, humpback whales, stellar sea lions, seals, and orcas! Andrew is an excellent and knowledgeable guide, who went the extra mile (many miles, actually!) to locate a large pod of orcas that had been spotted in the area. It was such as bonus to see... read moreWe had a fabulous wildlife tour with Andrew! We saw dozens of sea otters, Dall's porpoises, humpback whales, stellar sea lions, seals, and orcas!

We witnessed Sea Otters cleaning, feeding and relaxing with hands behind head, mama Humpback and calf diving deep, showing tail fins again and again, hearing each blow... Many Sheerwater birds, Rhinosoraus Aucklets, and more, and Stellar Sealions on haul outs! We even had Dalls Porpoise join us at the end. What I loved most was that the animals weren't disturbed by us, that I was super warm in the outfit attire provided by CRS, and the abundance of skill and knowledge by the guide! Can't wait for my next visit!!! This is must up here! … read less

Now that #7vsWild season 3 is hitting the screens on Amazon Freevee, we're thrilled to spill the beans on our behind-the-scenes involvement this past summer. Starting at the end of November the series will also begin airing full episodes on YouTube.
Day one for the contestants kicked off with breathtaking encounters for many of the #7vsWildTeams - eagles, snakes, and wolves, oh my! 🐺 But what's in store for the contestants on the second day? 🤔 Share your guesses in the comments below!
Here are just some of the wildlife the teams may encounter. All of these photos are taken during our day trips throughout the traditional territory of the T̓łat̕ła̱sikwa̱la First Nation, where the series was filmed.
As the series unfolds, we're eager to hear what you're hoping the teams may encounter. This season, each team is armed with video cameras equipped with impressive zoom capabilities, hopefully they will get some great wildlife shots that will leave you in awe!

A Sea Nettle jelly seen in the shallows during one of our tours this past summer. Beautiful to watch, but their sting can be painful. While our gueats often join us looking for larger marine mammals, it is often the small surprises that really make the trip memorable.
