Nature

Nature is everywhere, from huge expanses of easily accessible sandy beaches, to the intricate marine life in the tide pools, and the giant cedars, hemlocks, and spruces of the coastal rainforest.  Watch for Orcas, bald eagles, sea lions, sea otters, black bears, deer and other wildlife which are in abundance on the west coast. 

In summer, visitors from around the world gather to camp, hike, kayak, fish or go on wilderness excursions. In winter, storm watching is an increasingly popular pastime. Ucluelet is a true haven for the adventurous.

Each spring, the locals celebrate the migration of some 20,000 grey whales past the shores of Ucluelet on their journey from Baja, Mexico to Alaska.

For an exhilarating view of the magnificent grey whales on their annual migration, board one of the local whale watching charter boats. The local skippers know the waters, the weather and the whales and will provide you with a west coast experience you will never forget.
