We had the most amazing experience flying with Josh! Our journey to the Hot Springs just north of Tofino was nothing short of spectacular. Josh is an amazing pilot, anyone would be very lucky to fly with him!

Highly recommend!! 10/10 experience!
If you’re on the fence, just go for it- you won’t regret it. This was an unforgettable adventure and one we’ll treasure forever. Our pilot, Josh, was incredible. My daughter was feeling a bit nervous, but his calm presence, kindness, and patience instantly put her at ease. He was so friendly and made the entire experience both fun and exciting for us circling the sea lions and whales so we could get a good look! . We felt completely safe and well taken care of the whole time. Visiting the hot springs was the perfect cherry on top! They are beautiful and definitely an experience!

Observing the incredible Westcoast and its wildlife by air is a core-memory experience, and WCW have the ultimate pilots for it.
I've worked with the Westcoast Wild crew since 2020 while performing marine research throughout Barkley Sound and offshore waters. The level of professionalism with enthusiasm for nature is unmatched. WCW has supported large data sets in marine mammal observations for the Westcoast of Vancouver Island, First Nation flight opportunities for herring spawn overflights, and landscape-level reconnaissance through remote mountain valleys, and so much more.

100% recommended for all they do; from tours to scientific research and beyond.

We did a 1 hour floatplane tour with 4 persons (beginning of august 2025). Josh did a great job. He listened to what we would like the most, and based on that he advised us to start a little later than we had planned, because of the clouds and the possibility of having a beautiful sunset.
We saw two gray whales, the beautiful coastline and a terrific sunset! Highly advised!

Great trip. We did a 30 min scenic flight. The four of us really enjoyed the trip. Josh did a superb job and even made an extra effort. I would for sure go again and see more from the air.

Jenia the pilot took us on a fabulous 45 minute seaplane air tour of the west coast from Ucluelet to Tofino and back. He shared his ample knowledge of the area, a little history, and showed us sealions sunning themselves on rocks and bears by the river. I appreciated that he would alert us when we might experience some bumps. Jenia is cheerful, engaged, a superb pilot, and fun tour guide. If you want to take in the full expanse of beauty along this section of coast, then this tour is for you!

The most amazing experience ever! Jenia ( our pilote ) is the best! He’s nice, entertaining and professional! The views are incredible! As is the wildlife, we saw grey whales, bears and sea lions! Truly amazing! Also for younger kids ( we have 2, 5 and 7 years old )
