Ahous Adventures

I did the Hot Springs tour with Ahous Adventures and it was absolutely incredible! The journey itself was beautiful, and along the way we were lucky enough to see grey whales and sea otters, which made the experience even more magical. The guides were knowledgeable, welcoming, and clearly passionate about sharing the beauty of the area. Visiting the hot springs was such a special experience – relaxing, peaceful, and surrounded by stunning scenery. Everything about this tour exceeded my expectations. I can’t recommend Ahous Adventures enough – an unforgettable experience!

Wow, what an amazing experience! We saw sea otters, harbour seals and grey whales. Our tour guide told us about the Ahousaht’s indigenous culture and even sang a beautiful song. Felt like a different world. And the ride with the zodiac was an adventurous experience itself 😎 Highly recommend!

We had an amazing time on the bear watching tour! It was easily the highlight of our trip. We saw multiple bears and bear cubs in their natural habitat. We also got to see sea otters and harbour seals. The guide was friendly and the tour was well organized - departing and arriving on time.

We we’re visiting the Tofino area for my wife’s 60th birthday and Little did I know that on her bucket list was visiting the Hot Springs near Tofino. We were lucky enough to reserve two spots for the early morning trip the other day and what an absolutely fabulous adventure it was. We loved Captain Dave, he managed to help us spot so many otters and bald eagles, and even a gray whale on the journey there and back. He was kind and shared stories and even some personal songs from his family. Taking this journey with a company and a captain, who were so much apart of the local indigenouspeople’s made this trip even more special. I could not recommend the trip more!

We had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Ahous Adventures. Captain David led our whale watching expedition, and we were blown away by the incredible wildlife encounters - we spotted humpback whales, orcas, and grey whales throughout the day. Captain David's knowledge of marine life and the local waters was exceptional, and his storytelling about his cultural background and upbringing added such depth to the entire experience. Our bear tour with Captain Chris was equally amazing. We witnessed bears in their natural habitat, playful otters, massive sunfish, and sea lions lounging along the coastline. Captain Chris shared fascinating stories about his heritage and growing up in this beautiful region, giving us insights into the area that you simply can't get from a guidebook or larger tour company. What made Ahous Adventures truly special was the personal connection both captains brought to their tours. Their stories about their culture, traditions, and deep connection to these waters transformed what could have been just wildlife viewing into something much more meaningful. You could feel their genuine passion for sharing both the natural wonders and cultural richness of their homeland. Supporting this Indigenous-owned business felt important to us, and the quality of the experience far exceeded our expectations. The captains' expertise, combined with their willingness to share their personal stories and cultural perspectives, created memories we'll treasure forever. If you're looking for an authentic, educational, and absolutely spectacular boat tour experience, Ahous Adventures is the company to choose.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We did the Hot Springs Cove tour then the Whale watching tour. Both were fun. I recommend the morning for the hot springs because our group was basically the only group there at that time. By the time we came back to the dock four other groups had arrived. Our boat captain Chris was great. He tried to find us some whales but no success though he did find us a raft of otters. Whale watching was fun but it is hard to get video or pics. Be in the moment and enjoy the show. Our captain Alex was good. Not only did we see whales but we saw sea lions and otters. Loved the boat ride and being able to see the landscape from a different perspective. We chose this place because they are an indigenous owned business. Even our captain said they are a great company to work for, nice people. Would highly recommend.

We enjoyed the hot springs tour, however our group found the springs to be tricky to access once there (rocky, steep, slippery) and this was not described in advance. Ahous driver was on script, happy to answer questions, but was pretty tired after several runs that day. They drop you off and return to pick you up. Less of a tour, more of a beautiful commute. Bring water shoes and lunch

We had an amazing time on our whale watching tour with Ahous Adventures! All of the staff are super friendly and our guide was very knowledgeable. The vessel was clean, safe, and fast! We were fortunate to see orcas, bears, grey whales, sea lions, and otters.
