About This Tour

A private, guided boat tour of Ucluelet's harbour and nearby coastline, run by a small, locally owned operator. This is a private boat tour for your group only, run by the same locally owned Ucluelet operator behind our Broken Group Islands kayak tour. Real stops include Ucluelet's working fishing harbour and the surrounding coastline, with a genuine chance of spotting black bears and marine wildlife along the shore.

The name Ucluelet comes from Yuułuʔił, usually translated as 'people of the safe harbour' in the Nuu-chah-nulth language. The Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ have lived here for at least 4,300 years, according to the sources consulted.

The harbour earned its name. The original Ucluelet cove, near Portland Point, is described as the only safe landing place in rough weather between Barkley and Clayoquot Sounds. Captain James Barkley reached the area in 1787 seeking sea otter pelts, and fur sealers and later settlers arrived from the 1870s, drawn by fish and timber.

Today the town is small, with a 2021 population of 2,066, and its harbour is still tied to fishing. A boat tour shows that working waterfront from the water, with the forested shoreline behind it.
