Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.

As a returning guest from 2018, I had really high expectations for the tour, which I remember as really unforgettable. Back then, we went out with Mike and his wife, experienced great, informative hours and were lucky enough to see various wildlife. You can stil find the review in my profile. Today was different. Our guides Al and Harry were very friendly and warm, but "only" responded to the occasional questions of the eight guests in our group. So we drove to a different place (?) in the same bay than in 2018, got on a bus (didn't exist then either as far as I remember), walked through the rainforest on paths that definitely didn't come from bears, briefly (2min) saw a grizzly, and then sat down for 1.5h at another place by the river. At this place there were two groups and about 20 people, it was not quiet ... and no bears came. On the way back we saw humpback whales which was great.
I swing between 3* and 4* here. What I find a pity: Last time there was so much information about the culture of the 1st Nations, tracks were searched for in the forest and explained, one had the feeling of really being on bear tracks and didn't see a soul the whole day or tried to avoid the other company that travels the spot.
This time; not a word about history and culture on the way there, no track reading but off-road school bus driving on land, 2 hours together with 20 people from two providers sitting on one spot, done. I know that you can't influence the wildlife sightings, and I don't complain about that. For 500 CAD per person, however, I would like to have an immersive experience every time, as I did in 2018. This time I had the feeling of being "passed through" ... thats it. Nevertheless: Harry was extremely friendly and the tour is still an adventure. Too bad it wasn't as perfect as 2018 with Mike (the owner) himself.

We had an amazing experience with Sea Wolf. Our crew of Harry and Steven were amazing. They have life-long experience living in the area and a warm and friendly. Although we were hiking in grizzly country, I felt that we were in the best hands possible.

We did a Grizzly Bear watching trip in early September. We were picked up by the boat at Alder Bay campsite (great place!) This was the first time I've seen any kind of bear in the wild - to see and even hear it was amazing. I was surprised how few photos I took, as it was so good to just watch it eating berries then wandering down to the shore to turn over huge boulders while looking for food.
We also saw dolphins and were literally surrounded by around 10 Humpback Whales - including two who breached close behind the boat - what a sight!!
On the way back we stopped off at Brennan's ancestral island, which was a beautiful and personal addition to the trip. It was quite moving to see the old homes and learn of the First Nations history.
Even without the wildlife, it was such a beautiful experience with Brennan and Alan leading the way. The scenery is jaw-dropping - speeding along below cloud topped trees before the sun burnt through, then having lunch on the boat on emerald coloured water, with the only sound being a Humpback whale exhaling as it fished nearby.

Our day with Steven was the most amazing day we spent on Vancouver Island.
He took us on his boat through the fjords to a great spot where we could watch a first grizzly from the boat. At a small clearing by the river we observed another grizzly catching salmon.
With his incredible experience and calmness, our guide Steven made possible a unique experience for which we are very grateful.
We can't imagine a better guide to lead us through the wonderful nature of Vancouver Island.
Dolphins, sea lions, ancient murals, sea otters and humpback whales - we saw them all and had the best time on our trip. This day will definitely stay in our memories forever.
Many thanks for your great company, Steven!
Herzliche Grüße und alles, alles Gute!

Außerordentlich!
Das Team um Sheryl macht den Tag zum unvergesslichen Erlebnis. Gutes Briefing, gute Ausrüstung, gute Boote mit 2x300 PS.
Sie wissen, wohin zu fahren ist, um Wildlife zu erleben: Bären, Wale, Adler etc.
Delfine in großer Zahl. Es gibt ein kleines breakfast und ein Mini-Lunch anbord. Ferngläser ermöglichen gute Beobachtungen.
Die Guides schonen die Tiere durch angemessenen Abstand. sehr wohltuend.

Brilliant boat trip out to see the bears. Guides were really knowledgable and interesting. Loved hearing about all of the First Nation history too, coming from the UK.
Guides were very respectful of the animals and we liked this. Good safe distance, not disturbing the bears whilst giving us a good view of them.
We also had a great viewing of a humpback from the boat.
Lunch was good and I highly recommend a trip with this company!

We took the grizzly tour with Sherry as our captain and she was amazing. She is such a calm and obviously skilled boat person and we appreciated her storytelling and sharing about local Nations and other information. The tour itself was wonderful within the safety of great boats, on amazing waters and the wildlife was something we will never forget. We took this tour partly because we saw it on CHEK news but also because we ourselves have Indigenous ancestry and were proud to support and honor local First Nations. We come up this way every year and will promote this company and tour to family and friends.

Overall we had a lovely day. The boat was smooth and we saw 2 bears, humpback whales, dolphins, porpoises, bald eagles and sea otters which was pretty amazing! The scenery was also unreal!
However, we felt that for the very high price, there could have been improvements.
We came very close to not seeing any bears and they told us after that you sometimes don't see them in August. Their other tour that went out that day saw none. I appreciate they don't know where the wildlife will be, but at over £300 a ticket you'd hope for some sort of compensation if you don't see any. One ran in front of our car when we were on land so we saw it for about 10 seconds. We then spent 3 hours waiting at a river for a bear which never came. We got lucky later and saw one from the boat but we were so far away and it was almost impossible to get a picture without a professional camera. We asked to go closer and they said yes but didn't move the boat. The same happened with the whales which were so far from the boat and no effort was made to go closer even though I'm sure this could have been done safely.
The tour guides were nice but not very informative or interactive. They answered questions when we asked but other than that, provided little to no information about the wildlife or first nation history. Lunch was also poor and just a soggy sandwich and some crisps.
So overall a good day out but I'm not entirely sure what all our money was spent on and we came away feeling a little underwhelmed by the tour itself. The incredible wildlife & scenery was unbeatable though.

I cannot express how AMAZING this company is! My sister and I went on one tour with them that blew our minds so much we ended up going out again with them 48hrs later.
Everything about the trip is 10/10
- the boat is super comfy and perfect for viewing wildlife
- the guides are superb at spotting the animals and clearly care about them and the environment (unlike others I’ve been on where they will chase the animals to the point they actively swim away). They are great fun!
- we saw plenty of grizzlies, orcas, humpbacks, Dalls porpoises, white-sides dolphins and black bears….. anything and everything will be seen on these trips!!
Next time we are back in Port McNeil we’ll be searching out Sea Wolf again 🤗

Hello. I would really love to do this tour. What is the bear watching like in June? I can see it’s best when the salmon is spawning, but would we still see bears in June? Many thanks.

Hi, we are looking to book a tour with yourselves in July 2019 and will be staying at Alder Bay resort and campground. We will have an rv. Is there parking nearby to accommodate rv’s, or if not, what other methods of transport are available to get us from Alder Bay to Port McNeill ie buses? Thank you, Louise

Hi, i have limited mobility going off and on boats as my knees don't bend as much as they should.would this be a problem getting on and off the Sea Wolf? I'm fine walking ,
SeaWolfAdventures
Port McNeil, Canada45 bidrag
Getting on and off boats is key and is our gauge of wether this tour is fitting for guests. There is hiking and getting on and off smaller boats involved. I’d be worried for your safety and getting injured.

If we walk bear trails hiking boots are preferable. Keens should suffice though:)
