Pelagics from Vancouver Island (1 Viewer)

[If These Trees Could Talk]

Hi folks, I'm travelling to Vancouver Island at the end of August and would really like to take part in a Pelagic birding trip. A company called Just Birding offer them but unfortunately I won't be able to attend either of their trips on 1st and 15th September. I'd be very grateful if you could provide me with details of any other companies on the island who offer similar trips. Neil.

Neil,
I have no knowledge of the subject, but I just wanted to wish you welcome to Birdforum!

Nobody out there have any advice on this?

I wonder if your best bet would be to go on a pelagic from Westport in Washington. You could get the ferry across to Washington from Victoria the day before and drive down.

Their pelagics are very good.

i've never taken a bird tour there but seen many pelagics on the ferries (from victoria to port angeles or bainbridge island to seattle). the salish sea and the coasts are amazing places to view from, although going offshore will probably get you better results (i sailed around the area and had quite a few good viewings). good luck!

Alas, my itinerary won't allow this. Thanks for the advice though Andrew.
