Welcome to Remote Passages Marine Excursions. Whether whale watching, bear watching, dipping into Hot Springs Cove or sea kayaking to a rainforest trail, visitors have enjoyed our eco tours since 1986.

We launch out of Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island, just minutes from Long Beach and Pacific Rim National Park. Tofino is part of Clayoquot Sound, a vast temperate rainforest area of extensive beaches and deep fjord inlets. At Remote Passages, we are committed to preserving the ecological value and timeless wonder of this very special place.
