RFI - Tofino Birding

I am a keen birder living in Sydney Australia with a fairly extensive ABA area list. My wife and I will be in Tofino for two nights in mid-May and, although we are not on a birding trip, I was wondering whether a half day boat trip out of Tofino or Ucluelet might provide a lifer or two as a bonus. The possibilities are Cassin's Auklet, Tufted Puffin, Sabine's Gull and Red Phalarope. Any suggestions for where best to take a boat from (and whether any of these species are realistic targets) would be very welcome. Many thanks.

Hi, I haven't been on one yet but would like to at some point.

These guys offer full and half-day tours out of Tofino:

I would suggest getting in touch with Melissa at BC RBA (http://bcbirdalert.blogspot.com/, her email address is listed there) as she is there often and can probably tell you what to expect at that time of year.

Cheers
