Hello Nature Adventure Tours

We did the 2.5 hour harbor tour, and we booked the night before we went in may. It is really accessible for beginners and the guide was very good and knowledgable. Within 30 min we saw seals, sea lions, bears with big cubs and bald eagles (no guarantees of course! ;)

My friend and I did the day trip to the Broken Group. It was exactly what I hoped for. The guide, Phil, did a good job of taking things at a pace we could all manage while sharing information about the First Nations of the area and their culture and history, and pointing out cool wildlife. It was a very satisfying way to spend a day, and I'm already thinking about when I can come back.

Great 6-8 hours kayak tour. Very knowledgeable guide, relaxed experience and good equipment including tasty food for lunch

Wanna fully immerse yourself into the wild and learn a lot about the spectacular flora and fauna of Clayoquot Sound? If you answered yes (I assume you would), then you have to book yourself on the two hiking trips that Hello Nature offers out of Tofino.I was lucky enough to join Hello Nature on two small group hikes to both the Wild Side Trail on Flores Island as well as the rougher and wilder unnamed trail on Vargas Island.Throughout both hikes, Kevin was provided top notch interpretation of our surroundings and always had answers for my questions. It’s hard to imagine finding someone more informed to go on a hike with, Kevin knew it all.The tours are also a great way to learn about the First Nations culture in the area as you hike through their traditional territory. Hello Nature also employs the Ahousaht First Nations (when available) to transport groups to and from the islands.One of the true highlights that both these hikes offer is the fact you’ll rarely ever see another soul. While the trails in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve are stunning, they are really narrow and overcrowded at times. Never do you have that issue on these tours. If you’re going to run into anything, it’s likely to be wildlife.Throughout both tours, we also had the opportunity to see plenty of wildlife. There were countless bald eagles always flying above our heads as we marched through the temperate old-growth rainforest. During both hikes, we were able to spot grey whales in the nearby waters. At the conclusion of our hike on Vargas Island we were even able to sit and watch a couple of grey whales before returning to Tofino.If you’re looking for a more adventurous and informative way of exploring Clayoquot Sound, book with Hello Nature – you won’t spend your money in a better place while visiting the area.

My partner and I took a Ucluelet Harbour Tour with Emma and had an excellent time. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and while we were very fortunate to see a lot of wildlife on the tour, would have thoroughly enjoyed our experience with her regardless.

My wife and I had a great day on the water. Kevin was a knowledgeable and fun guide. The paddling was easy, lunch was delicious, and the scenery was beautiful. We even saw whales on the boat ride to and from the islands!On the day we went, the sky was hazy from the BC wildfires burning inland, but the water was an amazing blue because of a plankton bloom.If you are thinking about doing this, do it! You won't regret it.

My wife and I had an unforgettable time on the water with Jeremy. Extremely knowledgeable on everything, be it the wildlife we saw (deer, sea lions, seals, countless bald eagles, a golden eagle (95% sure), king fisher, oyster catchers, blue herons, cormorant, murre), jelly fish, all types of sea plants including bull kelp which we got to taste, starfish etc etc. We also found it very interesting the history he knew of the area including the traditional whaling practices by the local indigenous etc. we felt very safe the entire time, had a wicked lunch on one of the island beaches, and found the guide very easy going and considerate. All around excellent time and highly recommend. Thanks Kevin and Jeremy.

What a wonderful experience from start to finish! Our guide Cali was SO friendly, knowledgable, professional and passionate. We went on a 2-3 hour guided tour of the harbour & it went by so quick! Cali pointed out local wildlife and gave us some history about the area.Local or visiting Ucluelet - I wouldn't hesitate to book with Hello Nature. We can't wait to try the other tour types.Thanks for the great experience.

My husband and I had such a wonderful time with our guide Jonathan from Hello Nature Adventure Tours on our day trip to the Broken Group of Islands. Neither of us had any previous sea kayaking experience and we were completely comfortable on the water for the whole day. Jonathan was very knowledgeable and approached everyone in our group with authentic kindness. Kevin (the owner) went out of his way to accommodate us for the day trip and it’s clear that he runs a ‘top shelf’ operation! A must do when in Ucluelet!

Spent an epic 3 days paddling around the Broken Group with Aaron - an awesome guide. Last day we were surprised by a humpback whale breaching 10m away. Highly recommend!
