Experiences
From the warmth and protection of the southern gulf islands to the rugged west coast, to the remote north island, we have found the best of Vancouver island to share with you. Group sizes are small so we can focus on quality and intimacy in each of our experiences. Timed with the tides and the seasons, so you, too, can feel the magic.
