BC Sea Kayak Tours

We offer BC sea kayak tours: with fast and stable double kayaks, we explore coastal British Columbia rarely visited by other paddlers. Accompanied by qualified naturalist guides, we kayak through glacial-fed waters amongst lushly forested islands dotted with ancient First Nations village sites while observing the numerous species of local marine and terrestrial wildlife including orca killer whales, dolphins, harbour seals, black bears, grizzly bears, spirit bears, and bald eagles. After each event filled day, we return to the warmth and security of the Columbia III and begin an evening of gourmet food, conversation, laughter and relaxation.

"We are truly in awe of the experience you shared with us. The attention to detail and the quality of care you show your guests is outstanding. Fern, the food was incredible, kayaking will always bring back memories of the smells coming from your galley and the camaraderie shared at the table. Ross, your love and enthusiasm for the COLUMBIA III and Mothership Adventures always shows in the stories and knowledge you so freely share. That the two of you have created this to share with your family is something many of us would love to do but, very few accomplish. Luke, your incredible outlook made even rainy days bright and your willingness and excitement in sharing your knowledge of the area enhanced our experience greatly. Steve, you too do such a great job of making every day a bright day. It seems you’re always there to give us a hand, often before we even know we need it!

Thank you all for one of the best vacations we’ve ever had, along with the opportunity to share a week in your lives. We can’t thank you enough."
- 2012 Joan and Michael Collins, Publishers, Sea Kayaker Magazine

Our kayak tours use the Columbia III as our luxurious traveling home. Our itinerary includes stunning Vancouver Island, BC destinations: Desolation Sound, the Broughton Archipelago and Johnstone Strait, and the Great Bear Rainforest.

Eco Tours

We also offer exceptional BC eco tours for everyone curious to learn about and explore this diverse and fascinating coast. Once again we are including our extremely popular coastal history adventure, an acrylic painting workshop tour, and our photography tour. New in 2013 is a coastal painting workshop tour, where we will cruise and paint in the most beautiful locations along the BC coast. The dramas of the early settlers are retold, and the rich First Nation's history comes alive for us as we learn from our accomplished tour leaders, or we will study new camera and art techniques in the focused atmosphere of a very small group with well known instructors. Our sturdy skiff transports us on shore outings to view ancient totem poles, teaming tidal pools and verdant rainforests. Best of all, we travel the coast in total comfort aboard the historic Columbia III who has faithfully plied these waters for over 50 years. Each night we'll find a new quiet anchorage or moor to a quaint coastal community dock, and always there's the great food and companionship that travelling with a small group fosters.

Be sure to read these press articles that feature our kayak and cruising tours.

"Another very special week with the Mothership crew aboard the COLUMBIA III. This, my third time with you, feels like coming home. A dream come true, providing my two grandchildren (Drew 18 and Ellie 13) a wilderness experience to shape the rest of their lives, learning to nurture Mother Earth. Good Work! Thank you! Thank you!"
