Every March, spring splashes into Canada with the Pacific Rim Whale Festival!

The Pacific Rim Whale Festival comprises many events designed to give local residents and visitors from around the world a real taste of West Coast life and a deeper understanding of our extraordinary marine and forest ecosystem.
Welcome the annual return of migrating Pacific grey whales to the area's coastal waters.
There'll be lots of them: up to 20,000 on their northbound migration from the Baja Peninsula to Alaska and beyond.
Say hello as they swim by and celebrate the wonderful life of west coast whales.
Find everything you need for the Pacific Rim Whale Festival and to start your West Coast Adventure on GoTofino.com!
