About Homalco Wildlife and Cultural Tours
Operating from the Discovery Harbour Marina area along the Island Highway in Campbell River, this First Nation-owned outfitter runs marine excursions into Bute Inlet and surrounding coastal waters. The primary focus centres on the traditional territory of the Xwémalhkwu people.
Guides take passengers on purpose-built vessels to observe grizzly bears fishing for salmon in Orford River during the autumn run. Spring and summer itineraries shift toward whale watching in the Salish Sea, tracking orcas and humpbacks as they migrate through the narrow straits.
Beyond wildlife viewing, Homalco Wildlife and Cultural Tours integrates Indigenous history into every trip. Crew members share traditional stories, point out historic village locations, and explain traditional cedar weaving or language basics while navigating the coastal channels.
