Things to do in the Bamfield area - fishing, kayaking, whale watching...Salmon, halibut and cod fishing in the area is GREAT but seasonal, so contact us for the best times to come.
If you're not into hiking, how about a stroll along the Boardwalk? Visit what we locals call "downtown" - the General Store, Coast Guard Station, Post Office, and Cappuccino Bar.
If the silence and elegance of the kayak is more your style you can kayak around the islands of Pacific Rim National Park. Bamfield and Grappler Inlets are great areas in which to kayak or canoe. Venture into shoreline caves, pay a visit to some historical sites, or simply enjoy the landscape from the waters. Kayaks can be rented right from our docks.
The Bamfield Marine Station offers a variety of drop in lectures and classes where you can explore the world of marine biology. Bamfield is famous for some of the best salmon, cod, halibut, bass, prawns, crab, mussels, oysters and other shellfish. Catch or collect it yourself, or buy from a local fisherman. Simply steam, serve with a little butter and lemon, and have a feast!

For hiker's (listed from easy to challenging) here's a list
of my favorite destinations:
Or what about going on a wildlife excursion? In a two-hour tour
of the surrounding waters you can spot sea lions, bald eagles, whales and other
marine life and coastal creatures. 
Barkley Sound and the surrounding waters are noted for exceptional scuba diving
and snorkeling. There are many old ship wrecks in the area which have provided
just the right environment for reefs to form and local fish to make their
homes.
