We embrace or role as leaders in responsible tourism
As active members of the BC tourism community it is a privilege to be recognized by Destination BC for our efforts, partnership and ethos around responsible tourism. Since opening our doors in 2008 we have focused on sustainability and accessibility through relationships with partners like Ocean Wise, and our custom built accessible whale watching vessels NANUQ and WASCO.
We are committed to offering sustainable tours in Tofino and accessible tours for the whole family.
West Coast Aquatic Safaris: Championing Responsible Tourism
Destination BC had the following to say about West Coast Aquatic Safaris:
Truly a leader among tour operators province-wide, the company demonstrates admirable leadership in responsible tourism, environmental education, and cultural preservation–all while ensuring guests of all ages and mobility levels receive an equally memorable experience.
The secret of his success lies in his tour boats: Keith took exceptional care designing the vessels, prioritizing clear views of the wildlife and natural beauty his customers would pay to enjoy; fashioning both covered and exposed areas, allowing guests to choose their preferred experience; and installing restrooms.
Since its first tour, West Coast Aquatic Safaris has become one of the most popular adventure operators in Tofino, particularly among families and those interested in eco-tourism.
