Boat BC coast
Ahoy BC
For those who don’t own a boat — or even those who do — the best way to experience the wildness and wildlife of British Columbia’s coast is aboard an adventure tour charter. Tours lasting anywhere from 5 to 12 days feature small groups (6-16 guests) living and traveling aboard Transport Canada certified passenger vessels (both sail and power), operated by expert mariners and guided by expert naturalists. Without fixed itineraries, each tour is unique – an adventure guided by weather, tides, wildlife encounters and the interests and expertise of guests and crews.
Depending on both the region and season, daily activities include exploring the secret spots: remote beaches and old-growth rainforests, inflatable boat tours of kelp forests and estuaries and guided tours of ancient First Nations villages. All operators are guests of the First Nations whose traditional territory they visit and have signed protocol agreements.
Tour operators share a passion for proudly showcasing and contributing to the conservation of the British Columbia coast. They follow sustainable protocols in the purchase of supplies, conduct at sea and on land and when observing wildlife. All offer an eco-friendly experience of one of the most awesome places on earth. The adventure tour operators of British Columbia provide unique and world-class opportunities to experience the wildlife, wilderness, and cultural heritage of most regions of BC’s coast.
