38. Port McNeill (Part 2)
21 September 2023, Kanada ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Spent another day at sea with a whale watch boat tour. We saw orcas and humback whales very close. One humpack was very playful and gave us amazing poses.
Beside those giants, we saw sea otters, sea lions and sea birds

On boat was a whole group of ornithos 🐦 So I got some new observations, as they were always very restless when they saw a bird - I only had to look in the same direction 😂Baca selengkapnya

37. Port McNeill (Part 1)
20 September 2023, Kanada ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
Today was a rather quiet day. Did a hike in the Marble River Provincial Park. Hiked to the Bear Falls and so called Emerald Pools (rather a section of the Marble River where the water forms meander with gravel riverbanks than real pools). Those places are well-known for the salmon migration, there is even a fish ladder at the falls. But saw only one "jumping" fish no bears or other predators.

After the return to my motel,I visited Port McNeill with its harbour. As for the other towns on Vancouver Island, I really asked myself what young people are dong here and what the habitans are doing in winter, when the last tourists are gone.Baca selengkapnya

36. Telegraph Cove
19 September 2023, Kanada ⋅ 🌧 11 °C
Started in the morning, direction Telegraph Cove. I participated at a Grizzly Boat Tour, where we headed to the Knight Inlet fjord. Beside Orcas, Humpback whales and Harbour seals, I finally saw 4 of those iconic canadian mammals - the Grizzly. Beside our boat, we switched at the Glendale Cove into a quiet small vessel to approach the bears. We even saw a mom with her cub 😍 But than, it became hectic - a male grizzly approached mom and son and it's known, that they kill cubs. We participated live in a National Geographic show, where we couldn't do something, as this cruelty is wildness. However, mom and cub could flee - uff!

After nearly 9 hours, we returned to Telegraph Cove, where I could appreciate this little town in daylight. The colourful stilt houses are charming, there only live 20 habitants and the whole place reminded me rather of a Disneyland setting. I visited the Whale museum, where they had some skeleton of different whale species.Baca selengkapnya

35. Cape Scott Provincial Park
18 September 2023, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Headed to the Cape Scott Provincial Park - the most northerly and westerly visit of my trip at the same time on Vancouver Island. Someone should have warn me, that the whole way to the Park is off-road only - but my KIA did it once again. With some rain showers on my way, the weather gave this place through temperate rainforest and located at the pacific the right atmosphere. There were not su much tourists, so the whole ölace looked like the "end of the world". Hiked to San Josef Bay.

After my hike, I drived to Port McNeill where I had booked another motel. Visited the "town", another typical fishing-harbour-village and took a photo at the world largest burl 😂Baca selengkapnya

34. Campbell River to Port Hardy
17 September 2023, Kanada ⋅ 🌧 14 °C
After another quick stop at the hatchery to see some Bald Eagles, I headed to the north of Vancouver Island. On the road to Port Hardy, I stopped for the Ripple Rock hike. Ripple Rock was a rock in the strait between Vancouver Island and Maud Island. As it "blocked" the strait, making it a very dangerous passage for boats, people destroyed the rock in 1958 with the largest man-made, non-nuclear explosion. I hiked to the lookout with a view over the strait where once was the rock.

After that, on the way to Port Hardy, it began to rain more and more. I hiked the Quatse River Loop (not worth it) and visited the Carrot Park in Port Hardy. This park got is name of a carrot sculpture, symbolizing the end of the highway on the island.

What are people doing in the north of Vancouver Island? As it was sunday, all the shops and restaurants were closed. And as Ucluelet, Tofino or Campbell River, Port Hardy was another very small town with focus on fishery, too.Baca selengkapnya

33. Campbell River (Part 2)
16 September 2023, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
Visited the Quinsam River Hatchery, where they stock up salmon to restore the natural balance in rivers. It's a "fish production" to support sustainable fisheries, they breed and release them in the wild. Outside you can observe the amazing cycle of the salmons on their way upstream. But with blue herons, seagulls, crows, vultures, bald eagles and bears, all the predators are there to - so you can observe the fish massacre, too. I even saw a river otter or mink for an instant.

After that, I hiked some trails in the Elk Falls Provincial Park. First of all to the falls of the same name with the suspension bridge, then to the Deer Falls and after that the Canyon View trail next to Campbell River. There I saw 3 (!) black bears. One on the other side of the river, one only 50 m away who changed direction after he saw me and my "BeAware" behaviour (and some photos). But the first of them was only 5 - 10 m away from me, as I surprised him crossing the path. He was as surprised (or scared?) as me and ran directly into the woods (of course no photo, crazy moment).Baca selengkapnya

Started early in the morning at the Campbell River Harbour to a day long wildlife boat tour on a so called Zodiac. With over 8 hours, we had enough time to see Humpback Whales, Harbour Porpoises, Stellers Sea Lions, Harbour Seals, Bald Eagles and Orcas 🐳
Amazing day with a lot of spectacular views - the sea was so calm, you could think it's a lake.Baca selengkapnya

31. Ucluelet to Campbell River
14 September 2023, Kanada ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Before leaving the Pacific Rim National Park and surroundings, I headed back to Tofino where I hiked to the Radar Hill lookout and at the wharf where I booked another wildlife boat tour. Saw Harbour Porpoises, Bald Eagles and tons of Sea Otters 😍 Never thought we could so many and some were very curious :)
After the tour, headed to Campbell River - from the west of Vancouver Island to the east. Stopped at the Sproat Lake, Miracle Beach and Ken Ford Park. At my lodge, I could observe harbour seals in the river.Baca selengkapnya

30. Ucluelet + Tofino (Part 4)
13 September 2023, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Today was a more quiet day. After the rain yesterday, it was very cloudy today. Visited some beaches around Tofino. The fogs and clouds gave those places as said before a very charming atmosphere. Had booked a scenic flight in Tofino for 1.30 p.m., but they were so nice to cancelling it due to the clouds. So I got a new flight for 4 p.m., where we flew, as in Vancouver (day 2), with one of those iconic seaplanes to the Hot Springs Cove, picked up some tourists and headed back to Tofino. Beautiful landscape, but sadly no whales today. Later in the afternoon, sun came out and I must say, that the beaches, despite the mystic atmosphere, are more attractive for me personally during sunshine. Ended the day at a pub in Ucluelet where I observed sea lions and deers.

P.s. you can see my pilot Joshua sleeping on the dock in picture numero uno 🤠Baca selengkapnya

29. Ucluelet + Tofino (Part 3)
12 September 2023, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Not much to tell today. First day at the West Coast of Vancouver Island was rainy and cloudy, yesterday was sunny, today back to clouds and rain. So I visited Tofino, the other well-known touristic hotspot on the island. However as Ucluelet, I was surprised how small this town was. There were some art gallerys, shops and restaurants, but you can't do much there accept activities like boat tours, kayaking or surfing. It's a classic fishing village with a little harbour, docks and wharf. With the clouds and fog, the two towns reminds me of the setting in the movie Twilight 😂
I hiked later the Giant Cedar Loop Trail, but rain got heavier. The people here seem to have no problem with that, they're used to it and are happy, as it was way to dry the last months.

Did later in the afternoon another wildlife boat tour where we saw Bald Eagles, Black Bears and my first Sea Otter😍Baca selengkapnya
