Vancouver Island is the territory of black bears, and if you drive through the remote area of Vancouver Island, you may find black bears sniffing through the grass on the side of the road when you accidentally look out the window. If you want to increase the chance of seeing a black bear, then participating in a bear-watching tour in Toffino is the best choice, follow a professional guide to the mysterious waters of Krakow Bay (Clayoquot Sound), find a black bear, or go to the boardwalk in Port Albert (Port Alberni) to look across the river, and wait for the black bear to appear.
