How To See The Famous “Eagle Show” in 2024

Have you heard of the famous “Eagle Show” that happens near Campbell River, BC?

Between May to July in the Stuart Island area located north of Quadra Island, hundreds of bald eagles gather in the trees to feed here when the flood currents are at their peak. This special even only happens on specific dates at specific times, so we’ve created this guide to help you choose which dates to book with us!

Join us in Campbell River on one of our covered vessels for the tour of a lifetime. Travel deep into the Discovery Islands Archipelago to an area near Stuart Island where strong upwellings push hake fish to the surface. Hundreds of bald eagles travel here every year to feast on the hake. Learn more about the Eagle Show here.

We’ve opened special dates before our 7 Hour Big Animal Encounter Tours officially begin on June 22nd, 2024! Now you can join a 7 hour tour starting in early June. Here are the dates where the flood currents are at their peak mid-day; optimal for viewing the Eagle Show:

  • June 3
  • June 7
  • June 19
  • June 22 – 23
  • July 6 – 7
  • July 20 – 21
 

We’ll spend as much time as possible with the Eagle Show, and you’ll be surrounded by swooping eagles and bubbling tidal currents. Then, we’ll head out in search of humpback whales, killer whales, bears, sea lions, dolphins, and more. This tour is perfect for photographers, videographers, and those who are looking to spend more time with the incredible Eagle Show. Lunch, snacks, and drinks are included.
