| The annual
northward migration of Gray Whales through Pacific Rim National Park
begins in late February and continues until the end of May. The peak
season is from mid-March to mid-April, with some whales staying in
the area during the summer months.
Every March and April, the Pacific Rim National Park and the communities
of Tofino and Ucluelet celebrate the return of the Gray Whale during
its annual spring migration. The Pacific Rim Whale Festival
is a series of public events and festivities for the whole family.

In the Long Beach Unit, the park offers audio-visual programs
at the Wickaninnish Centre and Green Point Theatre.
Killer Whales may also be seen, but not as predictably as Grays.
A number of local commercial boat charters are available, should
you wish to arrange a whale-watching tour.
If you are bringing your own boat, please ensure that you are
familiar with the ocean and weather conditions on this exposed west
coast of Vancouver Island. If you are operating a boat near whales,
please remember that it is illegal to harass or disturb marine animals.
Stay at least 100 metres away from the whales and adhere to the
Federal Guidelines for whale-watching.
