The Reel Tofino Experience
We LIVE for the crisp mornings and foggy harbours. We LOVE the salty and unmistakable smell of ocean air. We EXPLORE hidden inlets, secret fishing spots and areas rarely seen by the human eye. We DELIVER tight lines and non-stop excitement. We ARE WardoWest.
Not just a fishing charter…
A Wild West Coast Adventure
WardoWest doesn’t stop at fishing, we want to teach and foster a genuine appreciation for the ocean, wildlife and super-natural environment of Clayoquot Sound with our guests.
Booking one of our charters means you’ll have the opportunity to explore and learn what it’s like to fish and explore an area of the world rarely seen by humans. . And it’s reeling in the freshest fish you’ll ever have on your dinner plate.
We’re crazy about fishing and have been doing it all our lives – and we can’t wait to share that excitement with you.
Stewardship
The long-term sustainability of our fisheries matters to us. WardoWest is the single largest contributor to the Tofino Salmon Enhancement Society, a volunteer organization dedicated to the restorations of Chinook salmon enhancement in the rivers of Clayoquot Sound.
