Inside the harbour where there are sheltered waters with no waves, we can paddle up to a beautiful hidden waterfall or visit the local fish hatchery. There is always plenty of wildlife inside Ucluelet Harbour.
Watch for black bears, along the shoreline and eagles circling overhead. Harbour seals pop their heads up to watch us paddle by and sealions call to the fishing docks along the water's edge.
Historic old pre-wartime houses, big steal fishing boats and old wooden trollers tell the story of this quaint fishing village. Option to venture outside the harbour dependant on weather & padding ability of each person.
Outside the harbour we will paddle in outside waters with waves. Spectacular views of the wild weather beaten rocky shores, a family of eagles nesting in the trees over head, sea lions, gigantic kelp beds, an ancient native whaling beach and incredible rock formations.
