Ucluelet Harbour

The calm and protected waters of the Ucluelet Harbour and the surrounding lands are a great spot to go birding. Numerous species of birds can be found here, including brown pelicans, ancient murrelets, and trumpeter swans, for example, alongside the classics for this area – eagles, blue herons, gulls and sparrows. If you’re lucky you’ll even see (and hear) the local sea lions on the docks.

Ucluelet Harbour also serves as the gateway to the rugged beauty of Barkley Sound. Accessible only by water, this remarkable area is best explored with a knowledgeable local guide. Check out our bookable experiences to find a kayak or boat tour, and make the most of your visit with expert insights into this stunning coastal wilderness.

The harbour is easily accessible and has parking. If you can, we recommend leaving the car at your accommodation and walking around town!
