Birding in BC Community

Want to get out on the waters near Tofino? There is a half-day pelagic in the offing for either July 23 or 24, and there is space on board. The price goes down as more people sign up. This would be on their typical Boston Whaler craft that is very capable of handling moderate seas off the coast with a maximum of 12 people on board. I hear that the skipper is top-notch and knows where to find the birds. Mid summer is a great time for Tufted Puffins in the area as well as a great mix of other pelagic species. The Weather is also fairly settled so there is a lesser chance of a cancellation due to weather.
Here is the price breakdown based on how many people sign up for the trip:
1 pax - $1200
2 pax - $600
3 pax - $400
4 pax - $300
5 pax - $240
6 pax - $200
7 pax - $200
8 pax - $190
9 pax - $170
10 pax - $155
11 pax - $155
12 pax - $155
Typically these trips are from 7am until 1pm though the Whale Centre will keep participants updated on this sort of thing. You will meet at the Whale Centre in downtown Tofino about 30min prior to launch then be supplied with survival suits. In addition to birds, there is a great chance of other marine life such as sea otters, whales, and dolphins.

Mel,

Thanks for posting this. I would have love to have gone, but I am thinking more in Sept. Perhaps you could pass along the number and I can get something started for the Sept date.
