Scuba Diving Charters &
Adventure Boat Tours!

Explore the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia above AND below the waterline!

The Village of Tahsis, BC sits on the edge of discovery, steeped in the history of years past - it’s the birthplace of the province of British Columbia- and bursting with the excitement of TODAY - scuba diving, wildlife viewing, whale watching, eco tours, modern amenities!

Scuba Diving in Tahsis

Tahsis is a fabulous cold water diving location with easy access to incredible dive sites on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The majority of our most popular dive sites are within a 20-30 minute boat ride from the dock.

At Tahtsa, we offer dive charters to suit every skill and comfort level. From shallow wall dives with spectacularly coloured flora and fauna (including octopus) to deep dives and night dives with the six gill sharks. Check out our Dive page for more information about our dive charters, fully equipped dive boat and scuba gear.

Adventure Tours

The beauty and remote wildness of nearby Nootka Sound and stunning Esperanza Inlet must be seen to be truly appreciated. First we make you comfortable on our 30' charter boat, Notorious, then we pull out all the stops to give you the adventure tour of a lifetime!

Hang on and keep your camera at the ready because we are going to do a little bit of everything from wildlife viewing & whale watching to sight seeing on this west coast Vancouver Island eco tour. We’ll visit historic Friendly Cove, where Captain Cook first set foot on British Columbia soil. Then bear viewing, Tahtsa style, is on the menu. Imagine silently gliding up to the shoreline to share the warmth of the afternoon sun with a foraging black bear and her cubs. This is the BEST way to get a non-intrusive glimpse into the natural life of wild black bears as they scour the beaches for crabs and other delicacies.

Whale watching

Whale watching in Esperanza Inlet is a delight as Humpback Whales and Gray Whales take their time feeding in this fertile inlet on their journey north. Wildlife viewing is excellent here, keep your eyes wide open for sea otters in the kelp and sea lions on the rocks and look up every now and then - Yyou won’t believe the variety of birds you’ll see!

Where's Tahsis?

So where exactly is Tahsis? We’re actually quite easy to get to (luckily not everybody has discovered how easy!) Tahsis is a picturesque drive, about an hour and a half on a good gravel road, from Gold River on the West coast of Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. Check out our map for more information.
